lainamikeyever I found the show engaging and quickly got hooked. I loved the retro costumes and came to love some of the characters, but it ends so wretchedly. Do not watch this unless you enjoy being incredibly depressed. I don't mind showing the reality of war but at least give us some happiness. I don't understand the horrible decisions by these writers It sets up all these couples and love stories to get you invested only to needlessly kill off every love interest and give no one but the most unlikable character a happy ending. A lot of acting is also very bad. One character's fake accent in the second season completely took me out of the show. That combined with how sad it ends just made it a miserable thing to watch. Don't waste your time

Laura Davey 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.

jamez9011 I am so pleasantly surprised by this show and am very impressed!! And it's a Canadian show at that, makes me so happy and proud!! It will definitely become a weekly show that I will never miss! Such a creative idea for a show, and the acting is very good, the script is great!! It's an all- around great show!! It really sets the scene and paints a vivid picture of what it was like in wartime Canada. Meg Tilly plays her role almost perfectly, playing a tough supervisor while altogether being a Canadian patriot, as well a loving mother and wife. The other actresses also acted very well, and have no complaints there. Adding an Italian(being considered an enemy at the time) to the script was also a very nice touch!!

pol7416 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!
