Lightfields [DVD]

This is the best drama I've ever watched on TV. I hope they produce more shows like this in the future. I was completely captivated from beginning to end, thanks to the brilliant acting. I can't get enough of it, and even my boyfriend, who usually dislikes everything I watch on TV, enjoyed it too!

This is a 5-episode TV series set during World War II. It follows the story of a girl who helps on a farm and befriends the farmer's daughter. She introduces her to an older American, but tragedy strikes and everyone starts blaming each other. The show intertwines past and future events, creating an interesting storyline. However, it would have been better if it was condensed into 3 episodes as it felt a bit boring in the middle. Additionally, the ending was somewhat lackluster compared to the promising beginning episodes. Overall, it was an okay series.

The DVD version of this production is superior to watching it on TV. By viewing both parts together, you can appreciate the nuances that may be missed when watching each episode separately. The acting is exceptional and the build-up to the ending is masterfully done, showcasing the director's talent. I only deduct one star because there is a slight lull in the story around two-thirds of the way through. However, this does not take away from an overall excellent tale. Highly recommended.
