With great production values and a cinematic feel this WW2 soap opera has a good authentic feel and seem solid researched. It dares to take it's time to build up the characters and their backgrounds. Sadly, both Ali McGraw and Jan Michael Vincent feel too old for their roles and lack passion even if the romance story is an important part of their tale. The miniseries is also damn long and some characters get to do a lot more than some of the minor ones.

The production is beyond doubt. They did a great job with the sets, it looks convincing and realistic. A lot of the original places, especially in Germany, are gone now but they manage to find good substitutes. Only thing I really didn´t like was the actor who portrayed Hitler. It was a real bad performance, he never felt convincing or intimidating. His outbursts felt rather ridiculous. So why the low rating ? In all honesty, personally I found this quite boring. There isn´t much content in 14 hours. There are great lenghts where the pace slows down too much and the story almost comes to a halt. And all that romance stuff makes it worst because it is repetitive and the characters behave stupid. Just not my kind of story.
