This series is one of the best I've ever seen, the acting, the setting, and all of the historical details done so extremely well. It truly is a shame that this series does not have broader coverage here in the U.S., it would be an excellent choice for airing on HBO. The broad history behind this series is true, the experiences and brutal choices that have to be made by a population under occupation; and it makes one think "How would I cope under the same circumstances?" In watching each episode, I can't wait to see the next one. The cast of characters with different perspectives and story lines blends together flawlessly, and you end up caring about all of them. Truly well done.

This movie is quite simply outstanding. The writing, acting and general production talent are first rate. If you're looking for non-stop intense war action scenes and high drama, this isn't it, nor what the subject of the movie is about although some of that is there. Ultimately, it is about enduring hardship and perseverance. I saw this movie on cable 35 years ago and it has stuck with me since then. I also watched it a few days ago and found it has much greater insight for me through my own life experiences, now that I myself am a veteran. The dialogue really makes this movie the gem that it is. Funny, satirical, and containing very harsh truths about military service and society in general. All around well done.
