Close to the Enemy

The plot sounded interested, especially since I have in interest in aviation, WWII history and spy stories. But this show is nothing like that. It started interesting but the plot barely had enough in it for a two hour movie and this is a seven hour show. By the third episode the German was convinced and that was when the story went down and I lost all interest. Nothing about jet engine developement. Yes, there where some things that where intriguing (f.e. the Hitler assassination plot and the possible conspiracy around it) but they remained flashes in the story. Instead we have a romance (of course we need that *rolleyes*) and a brother who is painfully idiotic. Both could have been left out it would not have mattered. Even the main character isn't a likeable person. Only one I liked was that singer played by Angela Bassett.
