The four-episode mini-series takes several liberties with the beloved children's classic. Some beloved characters like Strawberry and Dandelion are left out. The film's episode, "The Raid", is an introduction to why Watership Down is so revered and why the combination of rabbits and perpetual terror is so daunting. Everything is scary, and it always is scary. The downside is that it's not much more than scary, so if the scary parts don't work for you, you'll have a little trouble getting through the mundane stages. But the moments that work, work well.
