"The Liberator" on Netflix

Anyone else watch this yet? I watched the first episode last night and thought it was pretty good. From the list of credits, it looks like it's the work of a Polish production group.

Reminded me of "The Lord of the Rings" animation style from the 70's done modern.  Very cool style.  I tripped on over this too last night.  Glad I did.

I'm 2 episodes in, think its good ?

Binged watched the lot. Enjoyed (if thats the right word) every minute. Choppy scenes and getting the video for Go With The Flow out of my head didnt take as long as I thought it would and I ended up enjoying the quirky pictorial style.  The detail behind the last dramatic actions remain disputed (not the series's fault) but it doesnt detract and is possibly as close to the brutal truth as we will get now. I believe there is also some artistic licence taken in the portrayal of some characters given their continued existence beyond the point where the Alex Kershaw's book and the official record shows only 2 E company men (Sparks and a Sgt who was killed 6 weeks later) survived the Anzio operations. 

 

Overall, I thought it a worthy if very different stablemate to Band of Brothers and The Pacific and one which helps to put the bravery and sacrifices of the "regular" infantry into the mind.  

 

Thanks to LukeFF for the heads up on this one.
