"Life in the tomb" is the greatest anti-war WWI book written in Greek and has vivid discriptions of the filty life in trenches, picturing the madness and desperation, in the war that tried to end all wars, in the East, Balkan front. The series, was enrichened with more characters, for tv adaptation's shake, but that did not matter, as long as the theme core is well done. And that's where the problems start. Most performances, especially by the main stars, are average at best. Also, the music score reminds of mediocre productions made in the previous century. The good points, is the main production and the older actors, that actually know how to play their roles. So, some scenes were adapted very well, but others, very badly. This adaptation is an example of miss or hit choices, but I would suggest watching it, for the strong anti-war messages. But it falls far short, compared to the book.
