Our World War

Got recommended this by a friend. It is now back on Iplayer and I am confined by lockdown. Have to sat this was one of the best I have seen for a long time. The stories picked to shine a light on small aspects of the great war were incredibly well done.

Reading some of the previous reviews I feel them to unjustly pick on the music used. I thought it helped and gives the right emotional tone. Its modern yes... so is the audience. Using the music from back then might be awkward.

Be it the music or the camera work... the program gives a fresh view of WW I and of the people who fought it. You feel like you are in the trenches waiting for battle. The actors look very much like the men they portray. I am very glad this is now available in Netflix and I sure hope to see a 2nd season. If you haven't seen it do so... this is some very very good directing and filming.

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 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.
