Five Came Back - Season 1

Five Came Back is, in the end, a compelling examination of propaganda-its purpose, its effectiveness, and its drawbacks.

That, really, is the point. Five Came Back is tailor-made for film aficionados.

Five Came Back is nothing less than a masterpiece

A cinephile and historian's dream come true.

As informative and captivating as all the material on display here is, it rushes by far too quickly. This could be seen as a positive: so engrossing is Five Came Back that you won't believe how quickly it's over.

... the miniseries excels at demonstrating how the war altered its subjects, and how their work overseas continued to change the world for decades after the fighting had ceased.

[It] gives us hope a truism exists - that in the worst of times, real news triumphs over fake.

This reviewer found the three hours uplifting, informative, upsetting and well worth it.

Divided into three parts, this screen adaptation is a companion piece and a stand-alone work, and itself superlative film criticism.

A compelling examination of this little-known period of Hollywood history, a great subject that gets its full due here.
