In 1805 St. Petersburg, Pierre Bezukhov, illegitimate son of a rich nobleman, is introduced to high society. His friend, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, joins the Imperial Russian Army as aide-de-camp of General Mikhail Kutuzov in the War of the Third Coalition against General Napoleon Bonaparte. Part one of the four-part adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's 1869 novel.

VIBE

This is a sweeping, grand historical epic that feels both intimate and vast. It's a somber, introspective journey through a tumultuous era, focusing on the weight of duty and the vastness of fate. A true slow-burn for the patient viewer.
