The Women's War

T h e W o m e n' s W a r pics up from where T h e W h o r e s (2018) left off. I'm not sure why the changed the name, as it's based on one book (a trilogy, I think). It's a really emotional and thrilling series; it tells about a brothel, managed by madame Kukk (Merle Palmiste simply sizzles in the role, no wonder she has taken all the prizes for it). There's love, hatred and betrayal. Several girls come and go, as do spies and collaborators. It's 1941, so there are the Soviets and the Nazis. It looks more like a big film than a TV series. The costumes, the locations, the music are the best. You'll laugh and cry and then laugh again, and I think laughter helped people to survive in these horrible times where death was waiting around every corner and every friend might have turned out a traitor.
