The series’ synopsis reads: “The story of Dorrigo Evans, an army surgeon whose short but forbidden affair with his uncle’s wife sustains and haunts him through his darkest days in a Thai-Burmese prisoner of war camp in WW2.
The Narrow Road to the Deep North was initially released on Amazon Prime and instantly met with critical acclaim.
An audience reviewer wrote: “A truly haunting look at the cruelty man is capable of and the love that can get a person through it. Even if it is a love that can never be. And the love a wife can give even when it’s not returned in the same way. Haunting series on so many levels. This one is gonna stay with me for a while.”
“Elordi is raw, broken, and utterly captivating; you’ll hate him, love him, and ache for him all at once. Bring tissues. Clear your schedule. Let it break you open,” another commented.
A third gushed: “Absolute masterpiece. Made me feel every strand of emotion in my being. Outstanding acting by Elordi too. Wow. Just wow.”
Another praised: “Incredibly thought provoking, highlighting the flaws and imperfections in life.”
A fifth added: “This is what cinema is all about: great storytelling. This production is close to perfect in every aspect of film-making. Kudos to all: you were brilliant! Best ever.”
