Good Companion Piece to The Fall of Eagles

This series excels where "Fall of Eagles" stumbles.

I could only stand to watch a little bit of the first part of "Fall of Eagles," with Emperor Franz Josef portrayed as a doddering genial old gent with all the mannerisms of a classically trained Shakespearean actor. Skimmed through a few more minutes and saw more of the same ponderously slow, wooden acting.

I deleted "Fall of Eagles" from my hard drive, but because I'm currently trying to compile a somewhat comprehensive review of almost every World War I drama I could get my hands on, I may have to watch it again. I'm not looking forward to the ordeal.
