The Stories About Those Who Were Left Behind...
If your grandparents lived through the war and recounted stories of worrying about loved ones who had left hearth and home to fight, and wondering whether or not they were safe whenever they heard planes fly overhead, this show's for you. From the mother whose only son was eager to join up and do his civil duty, to the conscientious objector; the young teenagers just coming of age, to the farming couple just trying to eke out a living; the self-important ladies' club president to the down-trodden housewife with an abusive sod of a husband; the lonely widow with her dog, to the woman with a scandalous secret--they're all here in this lovely English village, facing an uncertain future as the war unfolds. The first episode was a tad slow as they developed the characters, but once they did, you'll be worrying for the characters' well-being yourself! For history buffs, you'll be pleased that the dates and events in the war are accurate, but if you're looking for a "war movie" with battles and lots of tanks and battleships, you won't see that many. But that's not the point, is it? This is a story about those who were left behind, trying to support the war effort and keep the "Home Fires" burning without losing their minds.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT SEASON!
