You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, character-focused military community drama with a strong sense of place and constant tension, similar in feel to Parade's End; Not for you if you need strict historical accuracy or straightforward action.

Pros: strong performances; gripping tension; unusual setting | Cons: shaky historical accuracy; uneven military details; clichéd relationships
