I have watched some excellent British tv shows over the years, to put it mildly this wasn't one of them. It was what I call a 'nothing show' because nothing happened! It was boring as hell and made me want to tear my hair out due to monotony! Around the same time this terrible sleeping pill was made, another series by the name of 'winds of war' was also aired in USA. It was a masterpiece! They captured personal story arcs amongst the ravage of war poignantly and majestically. The production values were excellent. This travesty of an effort is an affront to the war, medium of direction,the art of story and script writing. It seems a deliberate effort was made to make it as slow and boring as possible. The tragedy being that this aired AFTER Winds of War was already available. How could this even be made? Such a disappointing experience.
