War series starring Damian Lewis is ‘just as good as | UK News
A wartime drama starring Damian Lewis has been praised by viewers as one of the strongest depictions of battle ever introduced to the screen, with some calling it every bit as highly effective as Band of Brothers. Warriors, first launched in 1999, follows British troopers deployed on a United Nations peacekeeping mission in Bosnia.
It starred Matthew Macfadyen and Lewis – in one of his earliest screen roles before worldwide recognition arrived with Band of Brothers two years later – and told the story of a group of British peacekeepers serving in an operation of the UNPROFOR in Vitez, during the Lašva Valley ethnic cleaning in 1993.
The two-part drama was directed by Peter Kosminsky, identified for his meticulous and lifelike method to real-life occasions. The series acquired crucial acclaim on release but has remained lesser-known exterior the UK. On IMDb, reviewers continue to spotlight its impression more than 20 years later.
One wrote: “One of the best television dramas ever produced, and the rest of America will realize it if it is ever seen on American television. The writing, acting, and production values are all excellent. If only people knew what they were missing.”
Another review mirrored on the disturbing realism, explaining: “The war ended four years ago but this movie made me feel like it was still going on”.
“I could not sit calmly while I was watching it. It was so disturbingly realistic that the whole time I was watching it I could not choose between crying and laughing and at the end I caught myself sitting and staring at a non-existing dot on the wall.”
Others confused the thought-provoking nature of the drama, with one viewer noting: “I could give a description of what it feels like to watch this.”
“But I won’t, since there are no words fit to describe the utter madness of war depicted here. Go see it and think about it.”
“You might end up hating yourself for being part of this world we created. But if there is a slight chance flicks like these could make a difference… who knows. Deeply impressive.”
