3. Battlefield 1

In the last decade however, franchises focusing on real life conflicts such as Medal of Honour have fallen by the wayside, but there is one game in this generation which has resurrected these old tropes: Battlefield 1.

The short but intense campaign of Battlefield 1 brought the action you come to expect from this genre and put it against the backdrop of realistically framed stories from the 'war to end all wars' - not only providing some much needed context to all the chaos, but also some interesting and sometimes educational value.

Imagine a well-paced wartime show, exploring a different conflict each season, dramatising real events as they happened, with interviews with key people and sources adding real world context.

Part-action drama, part-documentary, if done correctly, a show in the style of these wartime games such as Battlefield 1 could prove an emotional, educational and hard-hitting opportunity to explore our history and relationship with warfare.
