Below the line is my original post.
I've just finished episode 4, and I've lowered my rating to a "2/10". Unbelievable that they've obviously used writers that have *zero* knowledge of basic warfare, or tactics of WWII. The British soldiers are portrayed as unorganised idiots that are so happy-go-lucky that they keep getting surprised by Germans because they don't even post sentries! For the record, at the beginning of the war, Brits were fierce warriors, even though severely outgunned.
The Germans in Poland keep falling for the female bait to their doom, but there's no retaliation against the innocent citizens?!
Oh, it's getting very, very bad, and not even Sean Bean can help this one.
I'll keep watching, but *only* because there's three episodes left.
Original.....................................................................................V
I was quite stoked for this after the first episode, even excusing some of the bad writing. I gave it a generous "9".
After the second episode, it's obvious that the men are weak, bumbling incompetents.
All the women are the leaders, strong, defiant, organized, and in charge.
Too bad that Hollywood has corrupted British film makers...
My rating slid to "5" stars, I'll adjust as necessary as the series progresses.
