Did you know that Eketrina Vilkova is the most beautiful woman in acting today? And that her acting skills are second to none. If not just watch this show and others of her movies to see what I say is the truth. She is simply heavenly and has such stage presence. If she was in Hollywood she would be in the top echelon of actors. Scarlett Johansson is a joke in comparison to Vilkova. Hollywood is missing out by not casting her in top movies. The finest actress I've seen in the past decade without a doubt!

Simple made, with cool stories, and good effects for low budget. I think it's really one of best in low budget ww2 series.

If you only ever judge WW2 by what Hollywood shows us then your as ignorant as can be. The Russians play an enormous part and this series shows just how it was for them. Men & women fighting together in difficult conditions. Political Commisars in every unit indoctrinating the troops and all fighting a dirty war that is seldom fully recorded here in the west. D-Day saw 7 divisions land on Normandy. Russia fought 50 divisions of German infantry and armour at least.

As for the production, it is representational and captures the feel very well. Russians don't have the luxury of big fancy CGI firms doing their fight scenes and to be honest it's the story line that makes the show, so we'll done to the script writers and the actors.

I think a lot of Russian made programmes and films are greatly underestimated. If as a country, they weren't so keen on poisoning people or cyber attacking someone then they could be a big player in the Movie business.

This miniseries does not offer great acting or visual effects. But let the imagination run wild, and immerse yourself in the "world" it offers: it soon becomes an emotional roller-coaster ride into the unknown, whether it be love or loss. Be assured of moments of sorrow and tears, and moments of joy and laughter as well.

This was a great series.. I'm glad I found it. The story, plot and the actors are fantastic. Some very good actors all the way around.

And Elkatrina Vilkova... omg I'm in love. She is a beautiful lady and great actress. I'm trying to find more movies she's been in. Maryia Andreeva and Anton Sokolov are excellent in this as well. Seriously they're all good, some very prodigious actors in this show.

If this is a typical Russian production I hope Prime or Netflix picks up more of them.

If you like war flicks, especially those with war planes, you don't want to miss this.
