| War and Peace (2016) | comment |
The 2016 miniseries adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace by The BBC. This is the network's second television adaptation of the novel, following one in 1972. It was written by Andrew Davies and directed by Tom Harper.Like the novel, the series follows a group of interconnected Russian nobles at the time of The Napoleonic Wars. Pierre Bezukhov (Paul Dano), the illegitimate son of Russia's richest man who inherits his old man's wealth, wants to change the world for the better. Andrei Bolkonsky (James Norton) feels trapped by high society and searches for higher purpose. Natasha Rostova (Lily James) yearns for true love. Natasha's brother Nikolai (Jack Lowden) signs up for the army, leaving his childhood sweetheart and cousin Sonya (Aisling Loftus). Andrei also joins the military, bidding goodbye to his lonely sister Marya (Jessie Buckley), who is caring for their ailing father (Jim Broadbent). Meanwhile, Pierre marries the beautiful yet mercurial Hélène Kuragina (Tuppence Middleton), and finds himself unhappy; Hélène's rakish older brother Anatole (Callum Turner) sets his sights on Natasha. And Napoléon Bonaparte is slowly advancing towards Russia, threatening political and social instability... | |

Winter Warfare | |
| War and Peace (2016) / int_1f6a62cc | comment |
Winter Warfare: Other Russian military figures want to fight back against the French after they take Moscow, but Kutuzov is adamant on doing nothing — he correctly predicts that the harsh winter will drive them out. Pierre is one of the prisoners of war forced to walk through the snow in the aftermath, but he is rescued by his frenemy Dolokhov. | |

I Reject Your Reality | |
| War and Peace (2016) / int_7a1856ba | comment |
I Reject Your Reality: Helen is evidently pregnant with a child that she can't even try to claim was fathered by Pierre and which she's trying to abort — but in her determination to pretend nothing's wrong, she turns up to a social gathering wearing a sheer dress that allows everyone to see her baby bump. She's snubbed and ridiculed by the other guests (including Boris Drubetskoy, her former lover) and Anna Pavlovna naturally tells her to leave straight away, asking why she even came. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| War and Peace (2016) / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Helene desperately pretends that nothing is wrong, even though she's pregnant with a baby that she can't even try to claim was fathered by Pierre, and she's clearly starting to show. This is only exacerbated by the fact she's frantically trying to get her marriage to Pierre annulled and marry one of her other lovers. So, what does she wear to Anna Pavlovna's party? A practically see-through dress, which lets everyone spot her baby bump. She's snubbed and ridiculed by the other guests — even including Boris Drubetskoy, her former lover — and Anna naturally tells her to leave straight away, asking why she even came. | |

Adaptation Dye-Job: Natasha, Nikolai, and Lise are described as dark-haired, but are blonde in this adaptation. Conversely, Anatole, Boris, and Dolokhov go from blonde in the novel to dark-haired here. | |

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| War and Peace (2016) / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: Despite all that she's done, the viewer still feels deeply for Helene when she becomes pregnant thanks to an extra-marital affair, is utterly shunned by St. Petersburg society, and either mistakenly takes too much abortifacient or deliberately commits suicide. Upon learning of this, Pierre acknowledges the tragedy of her dying alone. | |

Ethereal White Dress: Just before she commits suicide, Helene walks through a hallway wearing a sheer-ish white gown. She kills herself by overdosing on an abortifacient, so the red blood around her legs stands out against the white of her sheets and dress. | |
