...but I thought the series did a good job of portraying it from a personal perspective in a number of ways. In particular, the way the portrayed victims did/could not believe what was happening until it was too late was convincing and heartbreaking. I would have liked to see the 1943-May 1945 period handled more in detail. It felt like the producers all of a sudden had to squeeze a four-part series into three.

I don't know if Dorf was based on a real person, but the evolution of the character was fascinating and scary. The viewer was left somewhat to his/her own conclusions on Dorf's state of mind and beliefs by the time he was interviewed by occupation forces. Maybe that's just as well - can any satisfactory conclusions be drawn about such people?

I guess a lot of people feel strongly about science fiction movies, enough to spend hours dissecting it and putting the results of their lab exercise out on a public web site. Whew! what a smell...

I enjoyed this movie. It had a good cast, some interesting character development, excellent special effects. OK, holes in the story you could drive a truck through. But it certainly was not bad enough to warrant the heated multi-paragraph bashing sessions that appear under Comments on IMDB.

Let's forget for a moment that the producers took a perfectly good book and changed almost everything about the main characters, setting, and other miscellaneous details. Why DO they have to do that...?

The acting is terrible, the extended filming sequences where nothing is going on or being revealed, ugh! Don't waste your time.
