The series was beautifully made but I'm not here to review the series, I'm here to pay my respects. I live in Scotland and remember when the incident happened, I was 5 years old but I remember. This disaster was a human disaster not just Russian so we all need to take responsibility and the courage shown by those who gave their lives will not be forgotten.
I could be mean and rip this film a new one but as my title says its just too easy a target so i won't bother.
Instead i'll just say well done for having a go at filmmaking but i think you all need to work on your skills both as filmmakers and actors.
It looks like it was shot on one of those low end DV or HDV pro-sumer cams and the costumes were made out of egg crates and old toilet roll although they did make me laugh so there was a silver lining.
I'd be remiss as a reviewer not to warn people that this is a very low low ...low low budget film and you should enter into it with expectations to suit said budget ...low.
Peace.

I was surprised to see there was only one review of this , i was expecting a couple of hundred at least. Clearly the other poster was not impressed by this series and i agree with a lot of what he said but i also think that these pages in history shouldn't be forgotten and if that means some cheesy music and a bit of hammy voice acting then so be it, although i think Michael C Hall was the ideal person to narrate this.
Putting the production aside there is a wealth of archive footage that gives you a glimpse of what it was like over there, I've never been in a war but I feel I should at least watch these documentaries and try to understand what they go through. I'm not even American and I feel I owe them that which is why i was surprised to see such a small number of reviews.
I make a point of watching and reading as much as I can on any conflict that people have fought and died in, to recognize and remember what they did is the least we can do. Listn to the real guys talking ,look at their faces in the archive footage and read between the lines...ignore the music, that is how you watch a war documentary.
