A bunch of fine actors who had to endure some poor dialogue, awful CGI and non-sensical pacing. I really wanted to like it but the whole series was very poorly written and directed.
It was glossy and cliche. The last episode was a masterclass on super fast forwarding because the director ran out of time. They went from desperate PoW's to flying home in a blink of an eye. It made no sense whatsoever.
The annoying bit was I really wanted to like it. Occasionally it would show me aspects of the war I didn't know about. But then it would speed up and poorly cover it. Then it would jump to another topic and do the same.
The whole structure of this series was flawed. The story became a parody. Hard to take serious. Far too much jumping around and shallow character development.
It is worth watching but it will deliver a poorly paced anti climax.
