I just about got through the first episode and felt as though there was no atmosphere of WW2 in this series besides the costume and scenery. The brother and sister characters did not portray how a Jewish person truly felt at that time, in fear for their lives. She walks to a cafe in the dirtiest dress and switches it with a high society American woman. Would she have dared go there in daylight? The American woman then goes back to her table and instead of getting into her room quick smart and changing she gives dialogue. She spends a fair bit of screen time in that dirty dress. Women who take so much trouble on their hair would want to get out of that dress asap. Then the French at the Spanish border buy into the out of uniform brother telling them he is gestapo just because he is speaking in German? Even though he has no uniform and they don't ask him for id? The gay scene is also just a tick box exercise. I can't be bothered to watch the rest of the series, it's just a weak version of a time that filled people with fear and horror and does not reflect this at all with lame acting thrown in.
