Movie Reviews of By the Sword Divided: Series One [Region 2]
Movie Review: Wonderful For History Buffs
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been fascinated by the English Civil War (which was a TRUE Civil War, unlike our own War for Southern Independence) and the series enthralled me from the first. I have never forgotten it, and have waited for it to come out in a DVD format that could be played in the US.
Alas, as I notice, the price is exceptionally high :( and out of reach at the moment. But if you have the cash and are an English History buff, as I am, don't hesitate to buy this wonderful and historically accurate (for the most part) look at both sides of this important conflict.
True to the high standards that most British series adhered to, I remember the wonderful costumes and attention to the most minute aspects of the time and its people made by all involved in this production. One truly is looking through a time capsule at one of the most important periods of British history. The acting, as usual, is superb. It is hard to pick a favorite character, since all draw you into the life of each individual and the sometimes heartwrenching loyalties that divided brother from brother, father from son, etc.
Meanwhile, I'll wait for someone, somewhere to offer it for a bit less, and continue to dream....
