| Great Show!
If you like good drama and shows about WWII, you will love this show. Every single actor is excellent and the romantic subplots are delicious. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel.

I've watched the show several times and each time have found new lines and facial expressions that add more to the characters and the plot.

I can only imagine what life on those lovely islands must have been like when occupied by the enemy but I think this show depicts it as good as possible. Yes, the Germans were "just people" until they did something to make the people realize that they WERE in control. To fraternize or not? How would I have acted in that situation. . . . Makes one think.

Trivia

Not renewed due to the death of the main writer (cancer); high cost of production, £1 million per episode; and controversy over historical accuracy (IMO embarrassment in Channel Islands and UK over, respectively, the behavior of islanders during occupation, eg. collaboration, profiteering and fraternization, and the abandonment of the islands by Churchill's government in 1940).

Quotes

Oberleutnant Flach: Inconvenient, isn't it, war?

Goofs

Constable Jonas's WW1 medal ribbons were worn the wrong way around in every episode. The Bailiff, who had the same medals, was seen wearing them the right way around in episode 2.
