InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Arianna Moses 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.

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

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.

BigBobFoonman I'm halfway through this series on Netflix, and I am impressed. I never heard of the channel islands, and the fact that they were thoroughly English, and only 10 miles from Nazi French soil at the height of the Battle of Britain is a piece of history I have missed. This is a very unusual and interesting series.I was pleased to see Joanna Froggart from "Downton Abbey". a very beautiful and talented actress, and the actress with the first name Saskia who plays Froggart's mother, is one of those heartbreakingly beautiful British actresses that eat cameras up.Historically, the Nazis were SO bad, so incredibly evil and arrogant that it will never be politically incorrect to diss them anywhere, anytime, until, of course, American liberals decide to make it a sin to keep on dissing them. The Nazis in this series are chillingly demonic.I liked the fact that CGI ME-109s and Stukas were shown in flybys, but as usual, the CGI boys know nothing of aircraft flight characteristics, and thus, the planes came in way too low and way too slow. Most of the explosions from the Stuka bombs were super chinzy, nowhere near as huge and destructive as a 500 lb bomb would be. This is a problem with CGI when they show combat flying and destruction---the planes look good--they just are not flying right---the flying parts are cartooney.The Brits make great WWII movies---watch and enjoy---just admire the look of the aircraft depicted, and the look of the ladies in a great cast.

mason_612 I watched this on DVD , all 6 episodes over 3 nights. All I can say is , What a disappointment ! What a load of claptrap ! The previous comment from Paradox was spot on. A stumbling, bumbling bunch of Islanders, who could not get out of their own way. A couple of "spies" who were so pathetic, they make you laugh. A bunch of milksop women, mothers and daughters alike, who could not wait to get their pants off with Germans, just weeks after their father was machine-gunned to death by German planes.(The Germans were not all so bad after all, you understand) . Good acting performances by Glenister as the brooding Colonel, and Lt. Walker the Nazi, who gets the hots for a Jewish girl. What a pity a potentially good plot was ruined by the Movie business's ever urgent need to turn everything into a soap opera. The pity here is the terrible anger that must be felt by real Channel Islanders, who lived through the hell of the German occupation, to see it portrayed this way. Don't waste your time on this clunker. It was irritating and frustrating to watch.

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.
