When We Go to War

A good series, well acted with great cinematography and music. Just can't think what possessed the Classifications Board to allow it to be rated 'PG'!!! "Mild sexual references' is a most definitely a euphemism. There are graphic autopsy scenes and the level of violence in the battle scenes is well above the limits for a PG classification. In addition, the adult themes and the graphic views of the many injuries sustained in the fighting should be at least M rated. I would have given at least a 7/10 but could not condone this series being passed off as PG. It is not suitable for younger people and could be very traumatic for this age group!

The well-known actors as well as those less familiar are excellent. There has been great attention to the detail with regard to the costumes, scenery and props, all being in keeping with the era and geographical locations. The plot is well-paced and the script is intelligent and even educational, especially with regards to the different languages incorporated. I hope your adult audiences enjoy it greatly.
