War & Peace (2016) Complete HDTV x264 torrent

War & Peace is a British-American historical period drama television serial first broadcast in 2016. It is a six-part adaptation of the novel War and Peace by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. The serial stars Paul Dano, Lily James and James Norton in the leading roles.

The saga begins in Russia in 1805. When Pierre (Paul Dano), Natasha (Lily James) and Andrei (James Norton) are first introduced to viewers, their youthful ambition, despite their privileged circumstances, is to find meaning in their lives. Kind-hearted but awkward Pierre, the illegitimate son of Russia’s richest man, wants to change the world for the better. The spirited Natasha is searching for true love, while handsome and gallant Andrei, frustrated with the superficiality of society, seeks a higher purpose.

At the same time, Napoleon’s army edges ever closer to Russia’s borders. Natasha's older brother Nikolai (Jack Lowden) joins the army immediately and matures during the course of the war against Napoleon. Like Pierre, Natasha, and Andrei, he also experiences romantic vicissitudes: despite his childhood love for his cousin Sonya (Aisling Loftus), his impoverished parents insist he marry a rich bride like the superficial Julie Karagina or the religious Marya Bolkonskaya (Jessie Buckley).

Having begun with Napoleon's military campaign against Russia in 1805, the story concludes in 1812 after Napoleon's ambitions have failed and he has retreated and withdrawn from Russian territory. The families at the center of the saga have undergone major changes and lost members, but those remaining have experienced a transformation and a new life, with new growth and new families started.

The series received mainly very positive reviews. The Telegraph placed it as #5 in its list of the greatest television adaptations of all time, stating "It is safe to say that this is the greatest TV costume drama of the past decade and has raised the bar in a genre for which we are already renowned all over the world."

On Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator website, the series received a 81% approval rating with an average rating of 8.3 out of 10. The website's consensus reads: "War & Peace boasts sumptuous visuals and the narrative remains largely faithful to its sprawling source material, even if the pace may challenge less patient viewers and the period detail is slightly lacking."
