The tale of adventure ‘Watership Down’ is coming to Netflix
I had never heard of Watership Down until recently. I haven’t seen the original animated film, nor have I had a chance to read the book. Yet when I heard about a new version coming to Netflix I was intrigued. It has a rather impressive cast so I decided to check it out. I was able to get a screener for this new version and here is what I thought of it.
You can read the plot for Watership Down here:
Set in the idyllic rural landscape of southern England, this tale of adventure, courage, and survival follows a band of rabbits on their flight from the intrusion of man and the certain destruction of their home. Led by a stouthearted pair of brothers, they journey forth from their native Sandleford Warren through the harrowing trials posed by predators and adversaries, towards a promised land and a more perfect society.
Watership Down was a pretty interesting miniseries. It has plenty of violent moments, and a lot of drama and suspense. It told a good story, but at the same time it wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. The ending was a bit of a disappointment, but at the same time did an okay job bringing this story to a close. This is definitely not a show for kids, but fans of these stars will probably enjoy it. If you want to learn more about Watership Down click on this website.
Watership Down premieres tomorrow on Netflix.
