This is a truly exceptional mini-series, shot in an actual cold climate setting and with an extensive and most impressive set. The story line was most interesting and tracked nicely throughout the series. Acting was superb, as were costumes-- all most believable. The scenery shots complemented the series and to say the least were stunning and beautiful. We also appreciate that the series story line was based on actual historical fact, which lent still more credibility to events portrayed.
If I had a criticism, it would be that dialog was on occasion somewhat difficult to understand. Even so, the story line itself remained clear and easy to follow-- but not predict. A comment also about commercials-- we appreciated the lengthy presentation between commercials, even at expense of the typically lengthy ad breaks when they did occur.
Kudos are in order for whoever decided to develop such a series-- no doubt a costly venture, and not without risk. Please know that we as viewers most appreciate the excellent work to produce a superb production. Likewise to the actors, writers, costuming, etc., etc., etc.-- absolutely outstanding. Many, many thanks for such a refreshingly different and original series.
