I'm aware of this miniseries' critical acclaim, but I'm quite mixed. Some episodes really express the soldiers' emotions, while others left me at a distance, cold and detached, struggling to latch onto or empathise with anyone.
There's a lot more telling in this series than actual showing, like stated loss instead of actually seeing it. I don't know. While watching this, I just thought back to "Saving Private Ryan", a fictional story, but one, nonetheless, that captured my mind and heart stronger than this miniseries did.
I don't enjoy biopics that much, but with such universal acclaim, I thought I might've loved it, but instead, I only liked it.
