| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Superb Series |
| This is a truly wonderful series about the arrival of the Americans in a small Suffolk village in England during World War 2 and the resulting effect this had on the lives of the community. Needless to say various relationships develop between the Americans and some of the local girls and the series is both filled with sadness and joy, laughter and tears, dreams and aspirations.
The acting and character portrayal is second to none to the extent that by the time the series finishes you really feel that you have come to know the characters personally and have shared in their lives and experiences. As another reviewer mentioned, the Hymie and Elmer characters were a delight, because, despite their constant bickering, which will have you in stiches, you knew that, underneath it all, they were the great buddies.There was the beautiful and moving relationship, and eventual marriage of Chuck and Vi, coupled with the realism of the dangers that the aircrew faced on their various missions (interspersed with actual archive footage of the B 17's) - the sadness when some of them did not return, and the problematic developing relationship between Dr. Helen Dereham and Major James Kiley, so movingly portrayed by Susannah York and Michael J.Shannon, which will have you yearning for it to succeed despite concern for her husband. The series ends, perhaps strangely, not with the end of the War, but when the Allies are mounting their supreme offensive on Berlin, which promised hope for the future and the freedom to come. Whether this was deliberate, with a view to a possible second series I dont know, but in a way this was a nice touch in that it was difficult to predict the outcome for some of the relationships, particularly the forementioned Susannah York/Michael J. Shannon characters. A lot of modern drama concentrates on "over the top" (and therefore unreal) dialogue and too much emphasis on special effects. This series does not do this - which results in totally believable characters and storyline, where things dont always go as planned. Although made some 25 years ago it is still surprisingly fresh. A truly masterful series, and because it was a series involving both the Americans and their British Allies it should appeal to viewers on "both sides of the pond". I loved it. Think you might to. |
