Reviews (2)
In terms of the political reconstruction of a significant event, it’s brilliantly shot; moderate, with an emphasis on factual accuracy. Filmmaking-wise, it loses a bit of the dynamism and entertainment effect, but it still manages to combine both of these key elements more than capably. Another top quality episode.

Considering that the Munich 1938 does not seem to particularly concern the British, the most painful chapter of their history is their former monarchy's relationship with the leaders of the Nazi regime. This time again, it was rather a politically focused episode, although the influence of Edward/David's previous decisions on his family was clearly evident.
