This "sequel" is in no way a let down to the first season. In these episodes, the battle is raging and friends become enemies.
Parker Stevenson gets on board and portrays the Billy Hazard character with much more intensity than his predecessor was able to. In the same moment, his film wife Brett (Genie Francis) gets better and better and suddenly develops unexpected power.
The best scenes are those when the old friends suddenly meet on the battlefield - splendid storytelling here!
I have to recommend these two mini-series as the best TV productions of all time - when you love epic stories about friendship, love and tragedy, watch this one!
