Our World War

I watched this show with anticipation & in the end, I found that it was absolutely brilliant. Not only is the production great, the acting superb, the story line, which are taken from actual diaries & stories of the soldiers in World War I. I found this show to be honest in it's reflection to the soldiers in the Great War. It must have been horrifying for the men & women who in the beginning thought it was to be an adventure. I highly recommend this series for all adults to see. Having said that, I would not let children watch this show as the special effects are graphic but well done. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.

I'm not sure why so many feel the need for spoiler alerts. Do you NOT know about WWI, the Armistice, Guns of August, etc.? If not, then you probably need a spoiler to appreciate this. Anyway, the drama is top notch and the other features (maps, real-life voices of Vets, etc. ) are well done. Music to me added an interesting twist, but nothing to worry about really. The acting & directing are spectacular. My only regret was that there were only three segments. it would be nice someday to see something similar from the German perspective.

Even if you have just a passing interest in this era, this is well worth watching.

Just watched all three episodes on Netflix.

Exceptionally well produced, directed and acted. Production values are very good for TV.

I hope that if a season II is produced that they show the horror of poison gas used by both sides during the war as well as the fledgling use of airplanes as weapons of war.

The use of recorded WWI veterans voices is very moving.

As was the use of actual pictures and video blended into show. Not sure I like the introduction of modern music, but I understand the need to use objects to drawer younger viewers.

Does anyone know if more episodes are in production? Thanks

I thoroughly loved this TV series, very interesting and enjoyable. The only negative thing about it is the effects were lacking slightly, I did notice that the belt on one on the Vickers machine guns wasn't very convincing, slight let down but none the less, still very entertaining and realistic. TV series are usually a let down, however this one was the best one I've seen in a while. Hope they release this on a Box set! The actors were very good and the CGI was pretty good. If they do a mini- series about World War 2, I will definitely watch since this series was amazing, shame about it only being 3 Episodes long. BBC did a very good job at making this entertaining and I have to say, it was a must watch series.

This is what telling a story is all about. It feels like a real story and it is. The interspersed scenes of the real war work perfectly and the character development is just right for me. They do a great job of showing the progress of the battles which is missing in most all war stories. Finally this show affected me like nothing in a long time. Yes I cried like a baby at the end of episode 3. The first episode broke me up also and the knowledge of the bravery and the awards for it truly exhausted me. Action, truth, great stories, Perfect. The directors and producers need to learn from this how to tell the war stories from all wars in the last century.
