Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Steineded How sad is this?

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

rjbartholomew Can't believe this miniseries didn't get the best ratings ever. Either Brit audiences are drinking too much or it was due to a lousy time slot... hopefully not the decision of some psychotic executive. Crimson is as fine a drama as BBC has ever produced. Hopefully some other network will resurrect it... and the cast and crew can be reassembled. A big raspberry to BBC!Admittedly, the drama here is flamboyant and the tone is mildly but definitely anti-authoritarian. Perhaps 2014 audiences weren't able to handle its antiwar theme what with ISIS reaching its peak. But the plots are so gripping, the acting superb, the realism so real... simply a beautifully made series.

TriggerPullerUSMC I really am enjoying this show and while I am not sure if it is meant to continue I hope it gets another season. I love history especially if there is a military aspect to it. This show is one of the more realistic dramas of any kind that I have seen with a military backdrop. We have all seen shows where something happens that is such a huge gaffe or unrealistic thing or often an over the top portrayal of a stereotypical military member that you realize it is a show and it ruins the moment. I am about 20 minutes from the end and so far I haven't seen anything that makes me think OK that is garbage can't happen, wouldn't happen or that person wouldn't really be like that. Unfortunately on many occasions shows that are pretty accurate can also be a bit boring. This one isn'tAnother reviewer used the word sympathetic and I think for me that is right on the money. Even some of the less likable characters are at least a bit sympathetic. You may not like the person but you get where they are coming from. Anyhow, great cast, great topic, great story line and thoroughly enjoyable and great to watch. I only wish US made shows would tackle things like this instead of oversexed lawyers or horrible housewives of some godawful place. I feel like these kinds of shows really help us understand at least a bit the life and times of those before us. A small example of that is most of history's shows put Germans of WW1 and WW2 in Grey uniforms. This is the first show in my memory that correctly shows the color of a German field uniform. Small think but it shows they did their homework. Whoever produced, directed, and played in this show I hope it continues but even if it doesn't I hope you know you did an amazing job and I was totally engrossed in the movie and I thank you. If a grouchy Marine can enjoy a show with a bit of smooching and a couple character arcs that make you sad and still enjoy it, I think it should certainly be a great show for some of you more cultured folks. Give it a shot I am absolutely certain that if this topic intrigues you, you will enjoy Crimson Field.

billmarsano This is a third-rate British costume/period drama of the sort that PBS swoons for; unfortunately it's cheaply produced and--at a time when the film version of Testament of Youth has been just released--shockingly bad by comparison. This is really about a field hospital's bunch of nurses and their romances and feuds. Occasionally a wounded Tommy drops in for colorful effect. Many close-ups of agonized female faces, all in emotional pain. At the very least see the movie of Testament. Much better would be to read Vera Brittain's book, which is as good as or better than the traditional 'must read' of WWI, Robert Graves's Goodbye To All That.

zamoonda190 The Crimson Field is an extremely well written drama about a WWI field hospital. It doesn't focus on the war & fighting, so don't look for that. This drama focuses on the nurses, doctors, patients and volunteers. Sarah Phelps has written episodes that leave you intrigued and emotionally involved in the characters; your heart will break for them and you will find yourself rooting for love to win in the end. The actresses and actors do an amazing job portraying their characters, a better cast couldn't have been chosen! My personal favorite episodes thus far are 3 & 4, directed by the talented Richard Clark. I am desperately hoping BBC announces that season 2 will be filmed.
