Wow, I randomly chose this movie from a streaming service because of the name thinking of its connection to the original Gallipoli, itself an amazing movie. Not sure if both are connected somehow, but I came in expecting to hate the series. I never heard of it nor did I hear any praise for it.
I was just floored by the end of the first episode. I was haunted by it. The acting was phenomenal, the character development and story were impeccable, this is a classic. One of the best things I've watched in a while.
I have seen the complaints from other posters on here and think some of them are ridiculous. It's just nitpicking. If you know anything about how the movies and TV shows are made, you'd know why the lead characters always run around without their helmet or hat. It's so you can spot the actor, not because they're fools. I was a bit bothered by the scenes during the ceasefire with the Turks. If it was accurate, that's one thing, but I just can't see how ANZAC and Turk soldiers would be chummy knowing that in hours, they would have to fight each other again. I feel some may help each other here and there, but there would be suspicion from both sides that would keep each other at bay.
It's definitely worth a watch and some of the inaccuracies can be ignored.
