Bomb Girls

MEG TILLY CAN ACT! She's always nailed the ditsy parts but it has been ages since we've seen her skills really stretched into a strong well- rounded role.

As shift matron and a mother of two sons serving overseas, Ms Tilly brings a quiet mature strength that creates depth to her character. There are two incredible scenes in episode 1 where the emotions flutter cross her face and then shine through her eye.

The ensemble cast are together and individually equally strong. Whether it is the gruff factory owner, the girls living in the rooming house or the young scared soldiers --the characters are multi-dimensional and well played.

The production is grounded by a great script that hits all the right notes. Can't wait to see the rest!

I'm surprised to see that it's only got 5/10 so far in ratings. I'm a relatively picky viewer, easily losing interest after the first episode of a show isn't able to grab me. This one did! Part of me wonders if it would hold much interest for the average male viewer, though-- despite the climate of warfare and the homegrown Canadian backdrop, the show focuses on the ladies and their lives, and I can't imagine my boyfriend watching/enjoying it.

I agree with the previous posts about the stellar acting, and don't have much to add in that respect. At the end of the day--- I'll be following it obsessively. ;)

I am so frustrated at learning that this only a mini series and not a series at all and that this was the last episode.

I have watched this from the beginning like a moth to a flame with anticipation of what is going to happen next.

The story lines were creative. Meg is a wonderful actress as are the rest of the cast who do an amazing job.

I'd like to see more.

Why is that good Canadian shows never last. This has to change. I'm sure that there can be more effort put into more airings. People I've spoken to say they are loving it too.

Why are so many great shows cancelled?

This show is Canadian, educational, well-written and extremely entertaining. It's a realistic depiction (without getting too gritty) of life during WWII in the Greater Toronto Area. With the able-bodied men away at war, the women work hard in a rather dangerous factory making bombs (hence the name) and lend a hand to the war effort.

The show has many interesting female characters and focuses not only on their work life but their lives outside of the factory as well. The wardrobe is fantastic, the set decoration is very authentic and best of all the show doesn't pretend to take place in the States.

I really hope it is saved and picked up for a third season.

Love the show..i think every Canadian should watch and see what really went on in this Country..and how we stepped up when we had to...!Looking forward to weekly episodes and more..great writing and acting, nothing is held back,no sugar coating for T.V I like the aggressive aspect,so you know how it was for these ladies,my grandmother worked the steel plant during the war,when my grandfather was overseas,The forgotten Canadians contributed so much it is nice they do get the recognition they deserve in shows like this,again to remind us how thankful we should be and how lucky we are.Hoping for more.

Thank You
