    This series of discs depicting the Nazi occupation of England's outer islands is very well acted and shows all the issues one would expect of uninvited visitors in your homeland. I highly recommend it for history lovers but also those who love a good story as I would term this a war drama as there is violence from battle, action, romance, and definitely suspense.

    I am enjoying this series a great deal. The problems of ethics, moral dilemmas etc. are as real today as they were in WWII. How they get through their every day life is amazing and as sad as it is thrilling. The Brits and their story telling another "thumbs up"

    Verg good movie indeed, especially if you like WWII movies. Very realistic in its depicltion of the times during 1939-1940's. Very good acting and couldn't wait to see the other discs in the series.
