    • Trivia
      The BBC have commissioned a second series of the World War II drama, however there is no release date for series 2. Series 1 took two years to make, so viewers could have quite a wait.
    • Goofs
      The characters of Kasia and her mother are listed in the credits with the surname Tomaszeski. However, as women their name in Polish would be Tomaszeska.

    5/10
    Soapy and implausible
    Good premise spoiled by soap opera level plotting and wildly implausible plot contrivances and character motivations.

    Acting is wildly uneven - Sean Bean is great as always, as is the Polish girl but the fella playing Harry is absolutely hopeless.

    Almost injured myself eye-rolling when a character apparently walks from Poland to Dunkirk.

    Disappointing
