It's apparently becoming more and more common for the best streaming platforms to occasionally send a show they have high hopes for to a film festival, so that critics can watch its first couple of episodes early. That's what Amazon did for its recently-released epic The Narrow Road to the Deep North, at the Berlin Film Festival, and it seems like the new series is living up to that arthouse billing.
Starring Jacob Elordi as an Australian soldier in the Second World War who goes through some truly harrowing ordeals, and Ciaran Hinds as his older self looking back on that trauma, the show promises epic but intimate looks at what it's like to go through experiences that would break many people, both in terms of hardship and emotion.
