The Netflix mini-series "War Sailor" is adapted from a Norwegian movie released in 2022 with the same name, now only split into three episodes and is around 30 minutes longer in length compared to the film. This is an extremely powerful and compelling story that portrays how much was at stake for normal families trying to make a living during the second world war. The extreme attention to detail really make you feel for the characters, what they experience and go through, and I constantly kept asking myself while watching "imagine if it was me going through all this", it's seriously heartbreaking, and although this is a story based on something that happened 80 years ago now, I can't help but compare it to what's happening today in Ukraine and therefore find the message of the story to be quite relevant. Since the three episodes are each an hour in length this is a great-binge and a must watch for all WW2 history buffs. Rating: 10/10.
