I watched my dvd of this in 2 sessions and am very glad I did.
I had forgotten how good and how moving it was.
I don't get the hipsters on here not liking this,nobody says France won World War 2 but while there are resistance myths the resistance was not a myth.
I borrowed that from historian Julian Jackson.
In 1940 it looked like France was finished and Germany was going to win the war but some people swam against the tide of opinion.
Thousands of french people were killed by the Germans and their fascist allies between 1940-1944.
This drama was well done because it makes a virtue of its limitations of budget,it uses still standing Paris streets,there are few action scenes.
I can't find much to fault with this series,it is a bit sentimental at times but I can accept that.
