How could I not give five stars to an episode that featured the famous charge of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade? Thankfully, the creators ditched any over-the-top glorification and presented the event in its grimly realistic form, which only highlighted the forced self-sacrifice of those unfortunate Australian boys. It made their bravery even more poignant. This was a well-made, powerful episode, with the haka carrying a much more chilling atmosphere than it does at All Blacks games.
