Airing on Sundays on BBC, War and Peace has moved through the literary world, into entertainment. Based on the well-known novel by Leo Tolstoy, we follow five aristocratic families during the French invasion of Russia. Embedded with historical and fictional drama, we get a tension filled love triangle between Natasha Rostova (Lily James), Pierre Bezukhov (Paul Dano), and Andrei Bolkonsky (James Norton). Whether obsessed with the British cast, or the beautiful ball gowns, this mini-series will surely place you into an era where backstabbing really was literal.
