    A very good war documentary with a human touch.
    I really enjoyed watching the entire season of this documentary that merges real WW1 footage with reenactment dramatizations seamlessly. It is very rare to see movies about the Great War and most documentaries tend to focus on the war front, very little is known about what the civilians went through. The choice of keeping the dialogs in their original language adds authenticity. The costumes and uniforms seem authentic, considering the fact that uniforms kept on evolving during this first world war, it seems the film makers went the extra steps to really polish the production design. I liked the haunting piano musical score that plays throughout the episodes, it helps us making a human connection with these people. I will recommend it
