About
"A family's front-row seat to history's darkest hour"
This sprawling miniseries follows an American naval officer and his family as they're pulled into the gathering storm of World War II, crisscrossing Washington, Berlin, London and Moscow in the years before Pearl Harbor. It's old-fashioned prestige television: stately pacing, lavish period production, and a huge cast of statesmen, spies and lovers whose personal dramas intertwine with actual historical events. The tone is earnest and sweeping rather than gritty, closer to a historical novel brought to the screen than a modern war drama. Patience is rewarded with real scope and a sense of history unfolding in real time.
the sweeping, novelistic scope of a world sliding into war seen through one family's eyes.
you want fast pacing or modern war-drama grit rather than a leisurely historical epic.
