The spirit of our nation was forged on the shores of Gallipoli... and in the centenary year of the battle that shaped the ANZAC legend, comes a landmark drama event for every Australian. As dawn breaks on April 25, 1915, ANZAC troops launch into battle on the beaches of the Gallipoli peninsula. Landing in the dark chaos is 17-year-old Thomas 'Tolly' Johnson, who has lied about his age to enlist, his older brother Bevan and their loyal mates. Thrown into the heart of a war they know little about, in a land utterly foreign to them, these brave yet frightened boys endure the next eight months simply trying to stay alive. By the time of the final evacuation, each will have learnt about courage, sacrifice and the importance of mateship. They not only fight for their country, but for each other. Their legacy lives on today, stronger than ever. In Gallipoli, we remember and commemorate them. (Roadshow Entertainment)

Gallipoli (2015)
I enjoyed Gallipoli so much that I don't feel like criticizing anything about it. The Australian creators deserve credit for the way they approached an important part of their history. It could have ended up being a grandiose celebration of national heroes, but instead it was a sober, realistic and raw series, which was a great tribute to the boys in the trenches. At least that's the way I see it.

The First Day (2015) (E01)
Australian filmmakers have returned to their famous ANZAC corps, where Australians and New Zealanders fought together in both World Wars, and it’s a solid return. Right from the start, it felt like more than just a celebration of heroism. I also picked up on a subtle anti-war message throughout the episode.

My Friend, the Enemy (2015) (E02)
A powerful episode. Unlike the famous Christmas truce on the Western Front, I had no idea about this nine-hour ceasefire at Gallipoli. It prompted me to do some reading, and I have to give credit where it's due — the creators did a fantastic job with this one.

A Man Alone (2015) (E03)
Iit’s becoming clear to me that I'm watching an Australian take on Band of Brothers. Sure, it's a different war, but that’s the only significant difference. The soldiers' fates are pretty similar; the killing just happened with less advanced technology, so death took a bit longer to arrive.

The Deeper Scar (2015) (E04)
Another powerful episode. Sure, the entire international fleet looks like it's just resting, but I get that naval operations against the Turkish fortresses in the Dardanelles aren't the focus here. I was pleased to see that the creators didn't forget about William Edward Sing, one of the pioneers of modern sniper warfare.

The Breakout (2015) (E05)
How could I not give five stars to an episode that featured the famous charge of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade? Thankfully, the creators ditched any over-the-top glorification and presented the event in its grimly realistic form, which only highlighted the forced self-sacrifice of those unfortunate Australian boys. It made their bravery even more poignant. This was a well-made, powerful episode, with the haka carrying a much more chilling atmosphere than it does at All Blacks games.

If Only... (2015) (E06)
The episode was still very well done, focusing mainly on the behind-the-scenes politics and the strategic incompetence of the British command. However, without the front-line scenes, it lacked that strong sense of futility.

The Earth Abides (2015) (E07)
No question about it, this episode gets five stars. The atmosphere, which I felt was lacking in earlier episodes, returned in full force. The Australian filmmakers once again proved that they take their history very seriously. They delivered a very decent conclusion to the series.
