X Company

Is this historically accurate? No, not at all. Is it entertaining? Very much so.

This is all character development. Story. I really cant wait for the next series now that series 2 has been given the green light.

In this day and age we have Agents of Shield, Captain America et al. All of which are complete fantasies. This is a hi-bred. It is demonstrably a more realistic rendition of Marvels Agent Carter, same same but with a thin veneer of accuracy. More compelling than Carter, simply because it is more closely aligned with the truth.

Having said that, it is a very well characterised fantasy rendition of reality where the emphasis is on characterisation.

In any event, very compelling. Looking forward to the next rendition.

As a World War II and Holocaust Historian, I am quick to point out flaws when I find them. While this series does have its flaws, it is an absolutely gripping series. It is something that an individual who knows nothing about the war or espionage can sit down and be on the edge of their seats as they watch. Each of the five "spies" has something we can all relate to our admire, which makes watching this series even greater. I hope this series continues to get millions of views as I would love to see this continue for many seasons if possible! My greatest fear is that they will finish with season two, or even worse, not have the funds to complete the second season.

I was eager to watch this pilot episode and it did not disappoint, beautifully filmed it has the feel of a movie rather then a series, and bearing in mind that X Camp actually did exist makes it even more interesting. The writing takes you along a journey that the cast headed by Hugh Dillon as camp commander Duncan Sinclair brings to life with amazing skill, and includes some heart stopping moments, showing not everything even in war is black and white. It has heart, feeling and even some laugh out loud one liners.

Can't wait for the next episode and is WELL WORTH a watch....definitely a hit show.

Just watched the first episode and am already sucked in by these characters. I want to know so much more about Alfred and his 'talent.' Love the premise, love the characters. CBC is really on a roll these days. I've been a huge fan of Orphan Black and Rookie Blue so to see the creative brainiacs behind those shows get together is a match made in heaven.

Really excited to continue watching this series and it makes me super proud of what we do in Canada!

Also - I had to look up my IMDb password to log in and comment on this - my first comment on ANY television show ever.)

I think that X Company is one of the best shows on television. The fact it is Canadian is an extra bonus. I started watching because I was intrigued by the fact it was largely based on a Canadian spy camp and I have not been disappointed.

The story lines are fantastic, the acting amazing and cinematography is breathtaking. I like the fact that the characters are flawed and are more than one dimensional.

We are currently in the second season and every week I am impressed at how the storyline each week is more and more compelling. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I hope more people give this amazing show a chance.
