Best movie of this year hands down!

Very well executed

ridiculous rating

Blistering performances.

The show is dark and depressing throughout, with no bright points or themes the viewer could rally around. The series makes the people of the Channel Islands look cowardly and compromising at best. Many of the island women are shown as trollops who easily give themselves to the Germans. The few characters with any virtue are killed in the first two episodes, leaving the remaining, less than admirable characters to finish the series. There is one exception in the town constable, who openly disdains his captors and works to undermine them. His wife too remains virtuous. However, their characters are overshadowed by the loose and easily manipulated young women who provide nothing for the viewer to warm up to.Just overall an unedifying series full of lechery.

Some pretty scenery. That's it for anything positive.Bad acting. Bad writing. Boring. I cared not for even one of the characters. I cared not for what happened to them or what might happen to them. In its defense, I should say I only watched the first two episodes. I simply couldn't watch any more. I'm surprised the Germans weren't driven off the island from sheer boredom. Ooh, those nasty soldiers whistled at me after my father's funeral! Waaah!!How did Angelique become an expert in photography all of a sudden? Why was she even with the bailiff when he thought he spotted Phillip?There are two hours of my life I'll never get back.

What a great show? I loved the Zelda/Walker dynamic as well as the "ship" there. I know, a Jew and a German,but it could work if he chucked his Jewish reservations. I liked the subtle acting ,facial expressions of Colin Mullen(Walker) and Louisa Clein(Zelda/Hannah). When he tells her they're sending German Jews away,her eyes turns teary(For good reason). The music for the scenes and certain actors are just right and the writing for Zelda and Walker are good and snarky. SPOILERS COMING!! HEAD FOR THE HILLS!! HIDE THE KIDS!!! The ending sucked. Zelda ends up living an Anne Frank like life in her own "Secret Annex", Walker says he'll keep sniffing around till he finds her,Bernhardt and Angie are together but then what and the Wilf,Phil and Senator angle.Prison? And then? I'm going to write "War" fanfic and start an I-Petition for a second series.

An excellent drama, well acted and very entertaining. The actors have avoided the usual stereotypes often found in dramas concerning with war, portraying their characters as having different sides to them and not one dimensional human being. Although it is, in some ways, unfair to single out any one performance I have to say that Philip Glenister and James Wilby have been particularly great. Two men on opposite sides, Philip Glenister's character appears strong and James Wilby's character would appear to be the weaker of the two.However, they are probably more alike than either would care to admit. Two very compelling performances. Congratulations to all those involved in this production, hope to see another series.
