37 Days was a well researched , informative about how WWI was started. The deep resentments in Central Europe came to a head when the Archduke was assassinated. A point of no return was reached after this and all diplomatic negotiations failed. War therefore was the result. Nothing was ever resolved at the end of WWI and as a result the resentments festered resulting in WWII.....Four Royal houses ended after WWI and it did not end there...in the end 37 Days explains how the difficulties brought the world known that was until then came to an end. We are still living with both wars aftermath , thankfully diplomacy is the best way of ending disputes . When Hot Heads rule , war is generally the result. Shown clearly in this movie series...A worthy programme facing serious issues and dealt with appropriately.Read full review
This 3 part series was made to coincide with the start of WWI. A real high class retelling of the 37 days after the shooting of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. The 3 part series concentrates mainly on the German and British trying to ensue that peace is maintained. But eventually the slow moving Austrians make the move that starts the war to end all wars, dragging in Russia and France to the conflict. The script is brilliant, the acting brilliant, the direction brilliant. Any WWI enthusiast will marvel at this production. Congratulations to all involved.
