Money was spent on this. Sets were excellent, costumes were authentic, location was fabulous. There wasn't a "cast of thousands" but the extras must have cost a fortune.
There was no way that this was not going to turn into a melodramatic telenovela or soap opera though. Our four principal women were virtuous against a world of wickedness. They were fighting not only the Germans but evil men and women on their own side.
Coincidences abounded, secrets were found out, confidences betrayed. But we knew how it would end up - everything would turn out well in the end for our heroines. It simply has to in this sort of series.
Did I hate it for that? Absolutely not. I followed it all through.
I watched in French with the help of English subtitles as I'm going a bit deaf. I don't think this programme could possibly work at all with dubbed American accents.
