I bought the dvd 10 years ago but watched it only a few weeks ago,and i am glad i did,anyone expecting an action packed ww2 series like 'x company' or even 'bomb girls' look elsewhere,this series is about the daily life of guernsey islanders under the german occupation dealing with food shortages,fuel shortages,medicine shortages,black market,relationships between guernsey girls and german soldiers and more. most of the actors and actresses manage to convey an air of quiet desperation throughout the entire series barring season 2 episode 7 which is completely different in tone and mood,i was highly impressed with 3 standout performers, alfred burke(colonel richter),bernard horsfall(dr. martel) and helen shingler as helen porteous,there's also the awful emily richard(clare martel),she's an absolute stinker here. on a scale from 1-10 i rate this series a very strong 8.highly recommended.

The biggest problem with this supposed to be a spy/thriller are the actors and actresses themselves,florence pugh is a terrible actress,she sounds stupid and vacuous,a narcissist peacock,a poor woman's sophia myles,michael shannon sounds like he is taking a dump while delivering his lines,his delivery was so bad that everytime he opened his mouth i couldn't stop laughing, alexander skarsgard looks like he has no clue what he is doing there,not to mention the complete lack of chemistry between himself and florence pugh, there are more problems of course,like the incredibly idiotic story arc but i think that's enough.stay way from this stinker.

The only thing more shocking than this pretentious piece of rubbish is how old and ugly anna paquin looks,when this tv series was filmed she was what?34?she looks like a woman in her early 50s.
