SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

debdshaw60 This is a beautifully told story that's so real. In today's world where evil is rearing it's head and democracy is in danger because those in power won't speak out against these same sentiments expressed by the Germans, it's an even more frightening story.Many of the Germans terrorize the, particularly women, with violence and glee. It's shocking that a civilized people can turn into brutal animals. We are seeing the rise of this behavior again. Hopefully we can learn the lessons this series has to offer about strength and resistance in times of strife before we get to this point.

pruiett 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.

laura1jane I can't believe how anyone can critisise this excellent drama. It has been the highlight of my year as far as the television is concerned. ITV have done themselves proud considering the rubbish and repeats they usually churn out! The cast was superb with acclaimed actors such as Philip Glenister of 'Vanity Fair' and 'The other bolyn girl', Joanne Frogatt who has come along way since Coronation Street and Edward Fox's nephew Laurence Fox.The settings, the backing music and the story lines all fitted together perfectly, i just hope ITV take on board the great amount of praise they have received for this drama and commission a second series!!

joan-1 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.
