Brilliant tale of 1916 Easter Rising - Rebellion: Series 1 review by JR
I really enjoyed this and would recommend to anyone interested in history and/or just good drama. The period detail and atmosphere was spot on and very detailed. The characters were all totally believable and the connections between them all were complex but rivetting. It gave a very human face to a slice of Irish/British history. Without giving the story away - be warned it is very sad at times!
I feel ashamed to say my grand father who despised the Irish was sent in Ireland in WW1 after the rising to put down the rebels .
A great TV series - pity it wasn't on BBC!
