Only too happy to help, in some small way :)
I do see what you mean about it being more like a docudrama than an intricate drama... it's quite choppy, and there's isn't a huge about of character development.

They really did get the casting spot on, didn't they >.<

I'll make a start on Husar this week, but this one will most definitely take me longer; the dialogue is much more substantial. Shall keep you on the update!

Hopefully the weekend treated you well, and you're not feeling the grogginess so.
