Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Dreadfully Boring

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

I was a bit dubious about watching this but I'm glad I did. I binged watched it and it was thoroughly entertaining. I cant believe after reading the other reviews on here that ITV have cancelled the 3rd series even though some of the stories had already been written.Begs the question of ITV, how can you cancel a decent show like this and keep the crap ones like love island, take me out and all the other shows just to get people their 5 mins of fame?Shame on you

I can't believe ITV dropped another excellent show like Home Fires!What do they think is required for the viewers,more inane programs?There are too many reality TV shows,and I won't watch any of them!You can see that kind of stuff going on everywhere,fueled by the mindless twaddle seen on TV.If I want anything,"As Seen On TV",I'll watch what I want,not some network executive trying to show me what they think things should be.Home Fires and Bletchley Circle are both excellent series dedicated to the women who made tremendous sacrifices to help the War Effort in the UK.We need more programs dedicated to bringing to the present generations the supreme dedication shown by all brave men and women,home and abroad,who contributed so selflessly to bring about an end to war that should never have been allowed to become so costly to all!

I am so disappointed that Home Fire series 3 has been canceled I have bought and watched both series 1 and 2 and cant believe that this show has been left like it was, what has happened to British drama. You can still keep shows like coronation st and Emmerdale going and then bring back Cold Feet but you cant finish a series off completely. Maybe another TV station can pick up this wonderful series which is also a lot of peoples own history as my interest stemmed from the fact my mothers family lived in Chester and Liverpool during the war. My mother who is now 95 years old loved this series too and she was able to relate this. We seem to be inundated with crime series from the BBC and in this time in history a gentle reminder of what a dictator tried to do to the world and what woman have achieved in the last decade was wonderful.

...to evoke the England,lost under an ocean of nostalgia,of the early days of the second world war. I was born after the Dunkirk debacle that somehow had been turned into something of a victory by government propagandists. It needs a suspension of disbelief almost on that scale to consider "Home Fires" anything but a bread and butter TV series rather cynically timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe. The events are simply not far enough back in time to have period charm, no snappy chaps with plus fours or spats,no flappers or cloche hats,no long - nosed Bentley open - tops whizzing down country lanes where straw - chewing yokels touch their forelocks as Lord Snooty or whoever rolls by. No,the women concerned here could be my mother,grandmother and aunt - staunch W.I. ladies all who would rather have faced the Wehrmacht than dig up the village cricket pitch to grow vegetables. Cricket was England.All right,the Australians were getting good at it but they were only displaced Englishmen after all. Probably the Germans' main problem was that they couldn't play cricket. Not one of the female characters looked as though they got their vegetables from anywhere but Waities. Even the redoubtable Miss S.Bond looks as if she has strayed in from a retro production of "London Pride" The rest of the cast appeared ready to burst into "The Lambeth Walk" at any minute. Posh officers,cheeky cockney airmen,rebellious teenagers,the population of the village a bizarre mix of RADA "country" accents,cut - glass vowels and various regional Britsh dialects - we could be looking at a War Office production of 1940 reminding us of what we are fighting for; a never - never England. But because it's 2015 we have posh doctor's daughter snogging cheeky airman in a field on their first date(just how any "wouldn't happens" do you want?) and a violent controlling husband just to remind us that all men,not just the Hun,are bastards. As I stood waving my union jack in Guildford High Street at the Victory Parade how little I knew of what - according to ITV - was going on in my country.
