Production - pov criticism
[edit]"Despite drawing on historical archives, the BBC adaptation carried a slanted view of events told exclusively from the British perspective and thereby carrying a noticeable bias. This is particularly evident in the portrayal of characters such as the Kaiser and the Czar who are reduced to mere buffonery. Even the portrayal of the main character Sir Edward Grey is not based on an accurate reading of the man. Indeed the series often degenerates into mere propaganda which aims to place Winston Churchill particularly in a favourable light that in turn draws on a latter role in the WW2, rather than the facts and events in the lead up to the Great War."
This is of course a wholly unsourced unreferenced personal judgement coloured by the poster's own view of history.
It doesn't belong in the article at all - unless somebody wants to hedge it about with a "some claim". But even then there are doubtless just as many claiming that, within the limits of fiction, this is a reasonable summation of events. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.146.247.236 (talk) 19:33, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
