A 'Must See' Period Drama with excellent cast
27 June 2015
If you are like me, a period drama addict, look no further. The show features three women of different backgrounds who are stationed at a field hospital in France to start their voluntary work as VADs (voluntary aid detachment).

The first episode gives you an insight of life at a field hospital, where the doctors and nurses are as much center of the storyline as are their patients. Karl Davis as Cpl. Prentiss only one of the many patients, whose story will break your heart. The first episode is just as gripping as the following 5 episodes. I don't want to give away too much, but expect to be taken on a roller coaster ride of the good kind.

The Crimson Field is my 20th century 'Pride & Prejudice', featuring the Scottish Mr. Darcy actor Richard Rankin as surgeon Capt. Thomas Gillan and Oona Chaplin as VAD Kitty Trevelyan. Only two actors of a great cast that make this show so special. Keep a look out for Mr. Rankin. This is just the beginning.
