Summer 1939. Translator Harry (Jonah Hauer-King) is working at the British Embassy in Warsaw, falling in love with Polish waitress Kasia (Zofia Wichłacz). When German tanks roll into Poland and Britain declares war on Germany, Harry and Kasia are faced with terrible choices. With her life in grave danger, the only way for Kasia to be safe is to escape. Can Harry help her - and if he does, how will he ever explain himself to factory worker and singer Lois Bennett (Julia Brown), the girl he left behind in Manchester? As the Nazi threat spreads across Europe, Kasia must choose between love and fighting for her country, Harry must find his place in the world, and Lois seizes new opportunities the war throws up. The conflict overturns everything for Harry's snobbish mother Robina (Lesley Manville) and for Douglas (Sean Bean), Lois' pacifist father, and her firecracker younger brother Tom (Ewan Mitchell), who joins the navy and finds himself under fire in one of the first major battles of the war. In Berlin, outspoken American journalist Nancy (Helen Hunt) risks her life trying to help her neighbours the Rosslers from the attentions of the ruling Nazi regime, while in Paris Nancy's nephew, medic Webster (Brian J. Smith) refuses to leave the city and the man he loves. This is a series that takes us across the first year of the war, from ordinary life in Manchester to the beaches of Dunkirk, getting right under the skin and into the hearts and minds of those living their lives during this extraordinary time as they grapple with the unthinkable: a world in flames.
很久没看到这种风格的战争剧了，男主颜值有问题，人中处整过容吧，人设嘛；双女主？英国女孩戏少，人物刻画单薄，波兰女孩戏多，但波兰反抗假和落套；胜在导演和剪辑以及BGM不错，是能看下去的，肖恩宾演慈父太好。美国女记者居然是奥斯卡影后海伦亨特，嘴巴那整得完全认不出了，而且为什么要装老？黑白同性恋，和主线基本无关。男主妈，演得太舒服了。真心不喜欢这个男主；预测一下，男主最后还得跟波兰女孩破镜重圆吗？似乎又...
快进都看不下去，英国的战争剧也就40~60年代能看，勉强再拖到70年代，现在拍的这些小清新软趴趴的东西都什么玩意儿。。。近些年英国有拍过像样的两战题材么
很好的开场，糟糕的过程。一部政治正确的大戏，糅合了女权主义、LGBT，PTSD，有色人种权利的血泪史，最后一集竟然还有me too的影子。女主从始至终都作得令人讨厌……
