If you have some time and not sure what to watch on iPlayer, this is definitely worth a look, even though they may have embellished a few things, it is in my opinion a good portrayal. It fills in some of the human responses to what is happening

I saw all 4 episodes and was glad that the story was being told on prime time television.
However I did think that the screenplay was harsh and brutish - e.g. the violent,desperate Shepherd and Joseph's treatment of Mary.A sign of our times perhaps that a writer in our day should imagine that it was so.
We read of none of this in the Bible and would like to think that reality then was somewhat happier than this portrayal.
Thanks be to God that our Saviour did come to earth to save us from our sins !!
