Good concept, poorly executed.

Awesome Movie

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

This series is a wonderful delight, especially for female viewers. The characters are so engaging, you feel they are your friends almost instantly. The writers effortlessly draw you into the lives of these ladies, their struggles & their friendships. As the story develops, you find redeeming qualities in the "villains" which make you love them, too. The truth of women keeping the world turning during war while men were off fighting is romanticized a bit, but it is a good reminder that women were the key to the war effort.The only disappointment is that the series ended so soon. Just two seasons leaves you wanting more. They have created a movie in an effort to satisfy the demands of the audience. It aired in March of 2014, but at the time of this posting, is not yet available to watch online. You will not regret investing your time & heart into watching this one! But, you will be a bit heartbroken when you watch the final episode solely because you aren't ready to let go of your new-found friends. However, go immediately to find Land Girls to watch online, and this will help you overcome!

This predicable series gives little to chance when it clings to the fact that the writers want people to spy on one another and report it to authorities, even though it was and is incorrect to do so. The scripts are simplistically written. You can see problems start and develop, all of which have favorable solutions. It was initially noticeable that the series has an unusually high amount of feminine commentary and companionship. We should never allow nor have spying of neighbors nor family. East Germany suffered the organization of the Stazi who did just this during the USSR occupation. The plots run along a simple structure with simple solution, which are very unrealistic.

I picked this up, thinking it was another British production in the vein of Foyle's war, which I thought was excellent. Initially, I was quite confused and couldn't understand the lack of accents. Of course, I quickly clued in that it was a Canadian show.It feels pretty authentic and has lots of great details. The stories are quite compelling and the acting top notch. Cinematography is good too, and the photography looks movie quality to me and doesn't have the "cheap" look of so many Canadian productions.On the downside, there is just a little too little exterior photography. Obviously this would be expensive, but the show suffers for it and feels a little "sitcom-ish" and confined in the way it tends to cut from interior to interior with very little outdoor footage, especially city scenes. I understand why, but still miss them. Maybe Season 2 will have a bigger budget.My only other (minor) complaint is that it tries a bit too hard for the drama. It seems that every character has some secret burden, so there is no "everywoman" for the audience to identify with among the main few roles. Instead of seeing how the war and times affected most people, we're seeing what it was like for closeted homosexuals, the victims of evangelicals and oppressed socialites. I suppose the closest to an everyday person is the girl who loses her husband, but she's more supporting cast than lead. Anyway, minor issue.Overall, a good show, one that Canadians should be proud of.

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. ;)
