Highly Overrated But Still Good

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Hooked from the first episode and found the interviews with actual survivors of the occupation thoroughly fascinating. There were some unexplained 'gaps' in the narrative between one season and the next, leaving the viewer to fill in those gaps.Top notch actors and direction. However, found the last two episodes too long and drawn out, and overly sentimental. Left wondering if Beriot did indeed let Francoise know who her father was. Didn't really feel the short clip of Rita in Palestine fit into the narrative, except to possibly and in my opinion, unnecessarily, explain what happened to her. Rita's narrative would have been best left at leaving France to go to Palestine. Finally, right before the end Dr. Larcher receives a condolence card from Raymond, without letting us know if Raymond and his new wife were still alive. I would still wholeheartedly recommend this series. This was my first understanding of the true extent of the collaboration of the Vichy regime and of the horrors of occupation.

This is really a question but FAQs seem to be disabled. In episode 10 of season 5 the maquis take over the town and parade in honour of November 11th. Did this incident happen somewhere in France?

Simply one of the best series you will ever see. Don't miss it!

The acting was superb, not a flaw with any performance. How I am spoiled now! I can never go back to meaningless American television. HBO Europe is my go to now. Thank you MHz Choice for offering streaming at an inexpensive monthly rate. Highly recommend to everyone. Have a box of tissue on hand, it is difficult viewing, but is as it was unfortunately. I hope we all learn by this and never again repeat such atrocities.
