superb - Generation War review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
23/12/2014

Generation War is a wonderfully crafted series. It is well acted, and the script is brilliant. It is interesting to see the developments of war from the German perspective. Some Germans were portrayed as cruel and ruthless, mostly how we have always portrayed them ourselves. Some, however, were portrayed as decent, ordinary people who were scared of war and didn't understand it. If this series was a film, it would have surely won an Oscar, it is that good.

Mid brow - Generation War review by ML

Spoiler Alert
Updated 19/09/2020

Reasonably well done, but fails to really move one. One reviewer called it "mid-brow" and I think that sums it up quite well. A missed opportunity.
