Finally got around to watching this.
I can sort of see what they were aiming at but I don't think it works, so far. In terms of explaining the war situation they did both too much and too little - they tried to paint too broad a picture without giving a good enough idea of the situation the main characters were in. The biggest problem though is the characterisation - again, it feels like they were trying to do too many things at once and it ends up a bit muddled.
So, in short, the uneasy feeling I had about the adaptation from the PVs etc seems to have been realised in practice. A shame.
