	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ben Lawrence Telegraph	"Ardent fans of the novel may feel the need to list various omissions. Yet a production of 'War and Peace' that slavishly, obsessively followed the original is unlikely to be as irresistible as this. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Stuart Jeffries The Guardian	"It was too English. It took the deep-voiced Russian choruses that punctuated some scenes (...) to remind me 'War and Peace' was set not in Georgian England but tsarist Russia. No matter, I’m already hooked."	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Time	"The ambition on display is laudable; Leo Tolstoy’s novel is transformed into an entertainment product that moves with 21st century briskness."	POS
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"Viewers willing to lose themselves in this rich tapestry of a bygone world will not be disappointed. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"This series starts out with promise but ultimately ends up ordinary, another historical drama with well-regarded actors, fancy costumes and not much to distinguish it from all the others."	NEU
