Have only seen the first episode as I write this. Incredible production values for the small screen. Historically extremely accurate. The fall of Danzig has never been set forth so clearly in any cinema I"m familiar with. Great acting and direction. Incredibly good story telling and they get in the whole story of how the western powers were not ready for the Nazi atrocity that became WWII. The acting and direction get across the incredible events tornado that struck Europe in 1939 and how it affected people on the street who were not ready for this. The role of British fascism was also worked in. Fantastic script.

About as good as it gets for an adult sci-fi series. Definitely not for everyone. Most of my friends found it "too dark" to enjoy. Very thought provoking.

One of the best sci-fi series ever made. The special effects are major movie class. The acting is believable. The script is complex and very good. Addictive!!!

An excellent period piece set in post WWII small town Pennsylvania. This is an unvarnished look at working class life among the "ethnics" and sexual dysfunction. The production values are fantastic. This movie really captures what it was like then including a passing shot of a large coal burning locomotive. The interiors are drab and worn with peeling paint in some scenes. The directorial style is similar to that of Michael Cimino in The Deer Hunter and Heaven's Gate. The producers probably wondered why the excellent script and performances didn't garner at least Oscar nominations. It was nominated as Best Foreign Film for the French Cesar award.
