Age of Uprising: The Legend of Michael Kohlhaas
DramaHistory
In the 16th century in the Cévennes, a horse dealer by the name of Michael Kohlhaas leads a happy and prosperous family life. When a lord treats him unjustly, this pious, upstanding man raises an army and puts the country to fire and sword in order to have his rights restored.
VIBE
A grim, righteous fury fuels this historical drama. It feels like a slow-burn descent into vengeance, where honor demands a brutal, personal war. The 16th-century setting adds a stark, unforgiving edge to the escalating conflict.
