To watch
Co-created and produced by Assassin’s Creed Helmer Justin Kyrzel, The narrow road to the deep north The soldier of the Second World War Dorrigo Evans follows in three periods: before his deployment, during his stay as a prisoner of war and as an older man in the 1980s, with Jacob Elardi representing the younger version and Ciarán Hinds playing the older Dorrigo.
Both beautiful and brutal, the series traces Dorrigo’s love story with the wife of his uncle Amy (Odessa Young) before the war and how this love supports and haunts it during his time without compromise in a Burmese prisoner camp. Later in life, Dorrigo is a revered surgeon and a war hero with ghosts of his past and the guilt he feels both on the case and as a survivor of one of the most brutal theaters of the Second World War.
Based on the novel of the same name of Richard Flanagan, the series takes place on five captivating episodes, jumping between the three deadlines to tell a finely woven story anchored by exceptional performances of Elordi and Hinds, which, sometimes, makes love as brutally painful as war.
