Andrew Scott's James Stagg puts weather, disagreement and responsibility at the centre of a war story. Our interest is in the kind of courage that creates.
What is likely to happen next
Look for release details and reviews that examine both the performances and the handling of historical uncertainty. Viewers wanting the factual background should also consult historical material rather than treating dramatic dialogue as a verbatim record.
