Synopsis

An emotionally-driven character drama, set in the thrilling and dangerous world of WWII espionage and covert operations. It follows the stories of five highly skilled young recruits - Canadian, American and British - torn from their ordinary lives to train as agents in an ultra-secret facility on the shores of Lake Ontario. These agents parachute behind enemy lines, where they're fair game for torture and execution. From elegant hotels to hellholes in the field, it's one risky operation after another, masterminded by the brains of Camp X.

Reviews

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
farazeslami I honestly do not know what to say other than it is a truly fantastic show, only part that sucks is that its only 3 season
Antonio Carlos Vianna Braga When I started watching the series, I closed my eyes to the anachronic buildings, surroundings and even the wrong cobblestones. What the hell, it is a Canadian-Hungarian production. Let's give the guys a break. As the plot moved on my eyebrows were raised for how a portable radio transmitter could reach all the way into Canada while only extremely powerful facilities with tall antennae could overcome Earth's strong pole-to-pole electromagnetic waves. There was a reason South America was crammed with Nazi agents. Radio comms to America travel easily north-south-north, using S.Americans posts as a relay. Shortly the guys in France were on a Morse chat basis and I was looking forward to Pour Elise holdings while info was conferred back and forth. At the end of the episodes, guys checked back to base with an ease I suspected Air Canada jet planes were round the corner just on stand-by. Yes, instead of a long and dangerous retreat to nearby England, they moved to good old Toronto for a nice lumberjack breakfast and briefing in a minute. Guys, it's so infantile that I'll go on to see what the highly eccentric writers have in store. Morbid curiosity and a very good conversation material. In a time where very good series get canceled for a number of reasons, this vaudeville's persistence is one of the best kept secrets of WWII. Yes, Season three is on the pipeline!
ukxenafan1 I came to this show as an Orphan Black fan wanting to see what Evelyne Brochu was up to but gradually got drawn in by the great plots and surprisingly good acting.I had heard of the SOE based in Britain during WW2 and seen films like Carve her Name with Pride starring Virginia McKenna in the past. There are also the French Resistance dramas like Secret Army (and 'Allo 'Allo I guess!) but hadn't heard of the Canadian special operations group. I was surprised and interested to read some of the stories about the real X Camp on the show's website/FB page.As for this show, the team took a while to bed in and the actors to settle into their characters. As a fan of Evelyne Brochu I of course loved that she got so much to do and Aurora is a fascinating character. I was kind of glad they bumped off her romantic interests Rene so early on...apparently! Jack Lasky as Alfred the memory man was an odd character at first, but he's grown on me a lot. Indeed going into season 2, the changing character dynamics definitely made me more interested in all of the team. (Boo hiss Harry!) Season 2 was very strong with the emphasis on the Germans Franz and Sabine Faber and I was not surprised to see Torben Liebrecht had won an award for this role as Faber is a really interesting character - although I am curious to see what they do with him next after the season finale! Whereas season 1 had quite a few 'missions of the week' I think the longer story arc of season 2 really made the show take off. Some great tense drama and some really fascinating plot twists.Having come for one actor, I really have grown into a fan of the show and am looking forward to season 3.
hemmetti I heard nothing but good about this series and I was like great show when I got to see this! I'd like to watch a series like this! History and all all of that... The first episode, well that was great! Like very great. Perfect for those who like a good action series! Then what happened? In the end of the first episode the music was like wtf? New to this show but if the music is as bad as it was I'm out. Is it too much to ask for some music you know, like old music from 40's that would be like the music that happened when this series was supposed to happen? Don't know if this is the worst show ever or better than that happened to me. We will see...
