It falls short of 'Shakespearean' though it is largely accurate. Some dubious casting and location shooting suggests they'd have been better off 'interpretting' the scenes ala 'Oh, What a Lovely War'. Re-interpreted as a 90 minute movie the sub-story of romance in the office might carry it. I half expected to find the junior clerk from the British Foreign Office at the bayonet end of his counterpart from the Richtstag . Armed with a transcript and played in excerpts this would be a valuable 'Open Educational Resource' - better than showing 'Blackadder', more objective than the massive 1964 'The Great WR' too. Worth discussing across the social media to understand what the origins and causes of the First World War were.
It's hardly a spoiler, but they do go to war and millions die.
