I'm a documentary buff. I don't often enjoy reenactments but decided to randomly check this out on Amazon prime video after exhausting many other options. I began watching the Napoleon epsiode with few expectations except maybe an entertaining historical review. It is so much more than that. The production quality is excellent even with a limited budget. The special effects are convincingly real and especially violent. The acting is phenomenal and writing manages to focus the story in a way that emphasizes important historical events in a dramatic package. For a series based on actual events it manages to be compelling. If you are a history geek you will enjoy this purely as entertainment as well. Very well crafted. The writing, acting and direction elevate this series well beyond what you would expect. IMO 'Game of Thrones' quality witout the budget.
