Now this is what I call a good mini-series. It is interesting, realistic, believable and touching. Very well directed, filmed and acted.
Above all, it also gives the viewer an insight into one of the great battles of the first world war, which, especially for the Australians, has legendary status. It is also very interesting how the movie vividly depicts the divide between the classes present at the time. The film's portrayal of the generals is phenomenal... The generals and their staffs where so distant and alienated from their troops that most of the time, they had no clear idea of what was really going on on the battlefield!
All in all, mini-series very well made. Highly recommended.
