« Russia 1805. When we first meet Pierre, Natasha and Andrei, their youthful ambition, despite their privileged circumstances, is to find meaning in their lives. Kind-hearted but awkward Pierre, the illegitimate son of Russia’s richest man, wants to change the world for the better. The beautiful and spirited Natasha is searching for true love, while handsome and gallant Andrei, frustrated with the superficiality of society, seeks a higher purpose. At the same time Napoleon’s army edges ever closer to Russia’s borders. As everything they thought they knew is thrown into question, Pierre, Andrei and Natasha find themselves in a time when Russian lives are about to change forever.This adaptation, written for the screen by Andrew Davies, gives Tolstoy's tome ample breathing room to develop and dazzle without overextending its stay or selling itself far too short. Though certainly more readily digestible than Tolstoy's weighty page-turner, and very well done and approachable, the series is best enjoyed as a compliment to the original material, not a replacement. Besides, who doesn't want to say that they've read one of the most prodigious novels of all time? »
