A World War Two mini-series with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, starring Jacob Elordi, is now available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The Narrow Road to the Deep North, an Amazon Prime original, follows Australian army surgeon Dorrigo Evans as he endures life as a prisoner of war on the Thai-Burmese Railway while haunted by a forbidden romance.
The series has been praised by viewers, with one IMDB user calling it 'brutally brilliant' and awarding it a full 10 stars. 'One of the hardest things I watched yet one of the best things I watched,' they wrote. The narrative spans across the Pacific during the Second World War, focusing on the brutality of conflict and an enduring love story.
Another reviewer described the series as a 'true underrated sleeper that will blow you away,' adding that it is ideal for fans of Band of Brothers or The Pacific. 'It's a story about how humans can treat each other, and how the lead character's traumatic experience haunts him later in life,' they said.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North is created by Shaun Grant and Justin Kurzel. It is streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
