    I really enjoyed the first episode not the normal cliche story as well, it looked fantastic as well, I thought it must be a co production but looks like it's just BBC

    Hardly recognised Helen Hunt as the American journalist...

    Any of ye been watching this? The scale of the show is pretty impressive, the fall of Warsaw was very well done. Some plots are better than others, the American doctor's plot seems pointless so far

    Her face looks like someone on the old Jason Byrne 'Anonymous' show in some scenes, the make up or prosthetics are ridiculous - whatever look they were trying to achieve she just looks like she has been covered in plastic

    The action is very well staged, with the mix of CGI and proper pyrotechnics well handled. The Stuka attack was better than your usual TV standard.

    I agree the scenes in Dunkirk were really well done.
    I find the whole thing pretty gripping, Lesley Manville is brilliant
