Many of the street scenes occur during the period of the Blitz (in London) where draconian lighting restrictions for public road traffic. Buses are shown with all lights blazing away normally, both inside views and exterior views, and no windows are netted to protect passengers and crew from blast damage. No vehicles have masked headlights, either. See more »Contribute to This Page

I'm a sucker for anything Ruth Wilson is in since I first saw her in Luther. Amazing.
She's the centerpiece of "Mrs. Wilson" too. The whole thing was pretty good with good acting by all and good production quality. The fact that it was based on a true story is cool. It felt a little rushed towards the end and might have benefitted from another episode somewhere in the middle. If the concept looks good to you give it a spin.
