The acting is okay, historically pretty bad. Don't get me started about the uniforms.

What country would that be? France?
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Good that its both in French and English, acting is ok though some of the casting choices are bad, like Marshal Ney (who only appears in last episode) is an old as hell man for some reason. Some of the battles and fights are kinda cool.

Got to say though, I dig the music for this one.

Also, I find it weird when every media adaption of the Napoleonic Wars gets nit picked over uniform details. You'd need a huge team of tailors or graphic designers to actually capture that kind of detail correctly outside anything with a smaller set. I imagine that would cost three times the budget props or extras.

If Napoleon had a time machine, I think things would have ended slightly better for him ;).
