WW2 is certainly the most examined war in movie/TV history. I watched British movies about it in high school in the U. K. in the 50's (The Dam Busters; The Cruel sea..) and the stories still entertain. This one takes a different tack: Bigotry. Leslie Manville gets her teeth thoroughly into one of the most unpleasant characters I've seen in a while. Dripping sarcasm and snobbery and giving the Upper class a thoroughly bad name Poor old Harry-her son-takes off to Poland and North Africa just to get away from her leaving behind a pregnant girlfriend and a mercy wife.
The only Yanks to be seen are Helen Hunt as a ballsy reporter and a gay Doctor whose characters just disappear (courtesy of COVID?) in season 2.
We get glimpses of a Jewish RAF pilot, a black singer, a Jewish Nurse. However in the second season the Director/writer decide to have 1 minute cameos of 6-7 different stories giving the viewer little time to understand the plots. It's soapy but entertaining enough.
