I am rather disappointed by so many negative reviews given so early on, stick with it. No way did it deserve these low scores. After watching all the episodes and the finale today (only just released), I felt this had been a programme I looked forward to seeing each week i really enjoyed it. Obviously Band of Brothers and The Pacific were amazing, and this is different, but its an important telling of these events and belongs in the same canon.
It took a while to get warmed to the characters, but you do over time, remember they're playing real people and their stories are engaging, touching, sad and what they went through, shocking at times and it takes you on their journey where sometimes you need to hold your breath.
The production was fantastic, the sound, visuals, costumes and it's a great mini series which enlightened me into just how tough they had it, what they did for us and how they got through it. I'd happily watch again and it's not bad by any means.
