Sorry, this movie sucks

i must have seen a different film!!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I absolutely cannot believe that this absolutely incredible series has been cancelled by ITV. It is a major favorite in our household and we miss it terribly.. so BRING IT BACK... and as soon as possible.. please... For anyone who as not seen it,go find it and watch. This show deals with what was going on in the life of an English village as the war raged just over the channel. A topic rarely dealt with at all in the media. It's the best TV has to offer so it needs to continue.

I am so disappointed that Home Fire series 3 has been canceled I have bought and watched both series 1 and 2 and cant believe that this show has been left like it was, what has happened to British drama. You can still keep shows like coronation st and Emmerdale going and then bring back Cold Feet but you cant finish a series off completely. Maybe another TV station can pick up this wonderful series which is also a lot of peoples own history as my interest stemmed from the fact my mothers family lived in Chester and Liverpool during the war. My mother who is now 95 years old loved this series too and she was able to relate this. We seem to be inundated with crime series from the BBC and in this time in history a gentle reminder of what a dictator tried to do to the world and what woman have achieved in the last decade was wonderful.

...to evoke the England,lost under an ocean of nostalgia,of the early days of the second world war. I was born after the Dunkirk debacle that somehow had been turned into something of a victory by government propagandists. It needs a suspension of disbelief almost on that scale to consider "Home Fires" anything but a bread and butter TV series rather cynically timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe. The events are simply not far enough back in time to have period charm, no snappy chaps with plus fours or spats,no flappers or cloche hats,no long - nosed Bentley open - tops whizzing down country lanes where straw - chewing yokels touch their forelocks as Lord Snooty or whoever rolls by. No,the women concerned here could be my mother,grandmother and aunt - staunch W.I. ladies all who would rather have faced the Wehrmacht than dig up the village cricket pitch to grow vegetables. Cricket was England.All right,the Australians were getting good at it but they were only displaced Englishmen after all. Probably the Germans' main problem was that they couldn't play cricket. Not one of the female characters looked as though they got their vegetables from anywhere but Waities. Even the redoubtable Miss S.Bond looks as if she has strayed in from a retro production of "London Pride" The rest of the cast appeared ready to burst into "The Lambeth Walk" at any minute. Posh officers,cheeky cockney airmen,rebellious teenagers,the population of the village a bizarre mix of RADA "country" accents,cut - glass vowels and various regional Britsh dialects - we could be looking at a War Office production of 1940 reminding us of what we are fighting for; a never - never England. But because it's 2015 we have posh doctor's daughter snogging cheeky airman in a field on their first date(just how any "wouldn't happens" do you want?) and a violent controlling husband just to remind us that all men,not just the Hun,are bastards. As I stood waving my union jack in Guildford High Street at the Victory Parade how little I knew of what - according to ITV - was going on in my country.

It is an absolute delight to see a drama about the Second World War from the women's perspective. From the outset I was gripped by the characters. The anxiety among the entire village of what might be to come casts a pall over the country in the late summer of 1939. Stunning sets and achingly beautiful cinematography with sweeping shots of the glorious Cheshire countryside, this drama nevertheless holds the promise of great menace and danger to come. Simon Block has created characters that are emotionally intelligent and with great integrity and authenticity, translated effortlessly into outstanding performances by a stellar cast. The imminence of the war and the women's determination not to be cowed by whatever the next few months might bring is never stronger than in the very first scene: strong femininity versus the brutal machines of war. I know whose side I am on.
