Bomb Girls

I'm surprised to see that it's only got 5/10 so far in ratings. I'm a relatively picky viewer, easily losing interest after the first episode of a show isn't able to grab me. This one did! Part of me wonders if it would hold much interest for the average male viewer, though-- despite the climate of warfare and the homegrown Canadian backdrop, the show focuses on the ladies and their lives, and I can't imagine my boyfriend watching/enjoying it.

I agree with the previous posts about the stellar acting, and don't have much to add in that respect. At the end of the day--- I'll be following it obsessively. ;)

I am so frustrated at learning that this only a mini series and not a series at all and that this was the last episode.

I have watched this from the beginning like a moth to a flame with anticipation of what is going to happen next.

The story lines were creative. Meg is a wonderful actress as are the rest of the cast who do an amazing job.

I'd like to see more.

Why is that good Canadian shows never last. This has to change. I'm sure that there can be more effort put into more airings. People I've spoken to say they are loving it too.

I loved this series. At first, I wasn't expecting too much - I was expecting some kind of Pan Am/Playboy Club Hybrid. But this was most definitely not the case. Every episode had me glued to my seat. Every actor plays his/her part to perfection! I Meg Tilly was perfect. Peter Outerbridge was perfect. They all were. All were in character from start to finish - and very interesting characters they were too. My only complaint is that the series was so short. I didn't want it to end so soon.

Being a Canadian series, and not an American one, it is likely that there won't be a second Season. The final episode wasn't left open-ended for the possibility of ramping up profits by adding another Season.

Although a man, I sometimes enjoy stories told from the female perspective a little more than from the male's. For this genre of story, I doubt that I am in the minority.

MEG TILLY CAN ACT! She's always nailed the ditsy parts but it has been ages since we've seen her skills really stretched into a strong well- rounded role.

As shift matron and a mother of two sons serving overseas, Ms Tilly brings a quiet mature strength that creates depth to her character. There are two incredible scenes in episode 1 where the emotions flutter cross her face and then shine through her eye.

The ensemble cast are together and individually equally strong. Whether it is the gruff factory owner, the girls living in the rooming house or the young scared soldiers --the characters are multi-dimensional and well played.

The production is grounded by a great script that hits all the right notes. Can't wait to see the rest!

This series brings reality to the screen and back into our living rooms. Well written, excellent actors and it looks like we're going to see more than just the "war" side of things. Betty, do you have a crush on Kate? This show reminds me of the stories my mother told me when I was a little girl, about the work that women were thrown into during WWII and how many obstacles they had to overcome, especially from the prejudice that surrounded the woman that went out and tried to do something for the war effort. Thanks for putting something out there that is worth an hour of my time! It sure is a nice change from the sitcoms and dramas that have been thrown at us over the last few years.
