Slow moving film, reasonably acted. Too often a caricature (rest assured the Europeans are the bad ones) with hysterical passages where Percy Fawcett's wife recites all the XXith century feminist arguments).

Entertaining but we know right from the start that the horrible plans of the nasty Germans will be foiled.

Anachronistic in several aspects: antisemitism was not something rare, neither was racism or even eugenics in the Anglo-Saxon world. So why all the terrified looks and thrilling music when we discover this. Neither was listening to German radio for German girls in an Anglo-German school.

Difficult to watch. This is an overdrawn Boys of Brazil. With similarly thick accents. The plot is not gripping at all. The Israeli girl a poor actress. The show grows preachy (European country do so little to catch the war criminals that we are told with a straight Israel must do the job, the whol hit squad being a petite Sephardic woman), the Fourth Reich business was already laughable in 1981. The show is slow, hardly believable, the characters are hard to like, the "nostalgic" bits too frequent. Pass you way. Just watch the Secret Army, a far more subtle series (especially in its second and third seasons).
