There's a really great drama series on More4 called Valley of Tears, set during the Yom Kippur War. I'm only one episode in, but it's cracking viewing! |

Yep, I was put on to it at my club today, and watched it on catch up tonight. Excellent! |

I read a comment saying it was "completely unbalanced and one sided". Could not laugh harder. |

I watched the whole thing and wondered how in the world the Syrians lost. |

I watched a bit and it was unconvinceing. Attemting to run over a "Bazooka team". No Bazooka and it made the germans in the last scene of Fury look clever, and the guy on the tank seemed to have no idea how to shoot the cuppola MG, to be honest I turned it off. Whoever made it was not interested in history or credibility. |

I thought it was very good – portrayed the confusion and desperation of the first hours of the war on the Northern Front very well. Obviously stuff has to be included for "drama" – it's not a documentary – but these sort of Israeli productions have the advantage that virtually everyone involved are trained Service personnel and it shows. |

Waiting to see it on the channels I pay for now, without having to pay again for the show on a site I already pay for. Only way to get it in the "United" States. Looked good from the clips on Youtube. |

I just binge watched the last 6 episodes, it seemed to get a bit surreal and contrived to me as it went on, but the combat scenes are still good! |

I've see four episodes now- I think it's OK, not great but then there aren't going to be a whole lot of dramas about the Yom Kippur War. |

6 episodes in and I'm really impressed. It's a little slow but it looks great and really captures the moment. |

8 episodes in and I'm still impressed. They look like men at war. But they're Israelis so they are. I haven't seen anything this good on UK/US TV. |
