It feels like the creators are poking fun at me. The Berlin episodes are definitely the standout so far, while the London ones are passable. However, Warsaw and especially France... Well, let's just say the team behind the series might have a knack for romantic drama, but they should probably leave the war events to someone more capable. The war neurotics are left armed to the teeth (Harry must love a bit of adrenaline), the British camp in the city in a caravan – and where on earth did that unattended girl come from? Did she just fall from the sky? But the biggest question mark for me: How on earth did Grzegorz make it to the Channel? Am I supposed to believe he first went east in Poland, then crossed through occupied territory to the west, danced his way through Germany, snuck past the front, and miraculously ended up in France? I'm not naive enough for that anymore.
