[Highly rated reviewer]

Absolutely Brilliant

Ive not finished seeing the complete series, but what I have seen is absolutely fantastic. I remember watching this when it was on TV. It grips you to your seat at the self same time it will make you cry in places.

good watch

This tv series trys to tell the story of world war 2 through the lives of a family who travel the world whilst the war is on.The most expensive tv series ever made at the time,and it shows production values are high,a little bit soap operaish at times but you do get involved with the story.Mitchum is good value a hollywood icon perfectly cast (a role that the late great Gary Cooper would have been great in).Victoria Tennant is probably too young for her part as a love struck Waaf.The action scenes are good and the story after the first episode move very fast.Worth a watch quality tv

Winds of War

Great viewing. I just viewed the first disc and the second arrived this morning. It is better than I remember having seen the orignalseries in the 80s on its initial release. Great settings and costumes make this a really great view. Thoroughly enjoy watching it over again.

A classic war epic

Remember watching this first time around and being very impressed. Second viewing hasn't disappointed either, as epic productions on the second world war go it is the best so far

winds of war

we were really looking forward to seeing this series again, after watching it many years ago. We were however really disappointed on the whole. Some of the acting was really wooden to say the very least and the relationship development between two of the characters was painfully slow and seemed to take over much of the plot, especially in disc 2!

Not all bad, there was some good parts especially some of the historical scenes but saying that we gave up by disc 4 and could face no more.

As good as i remember it
