amandreamz I have seen TV shows and movies about World Wars, but not much like a resistance stories. I find X Company is one of the best show, it includes everything in it. Emotions, Love, Feelings, Laughing, Crying and Strategic battles of Heroes who does not care about medals or applauds they just know one thing... keep fighting until you get freedom.

scocope-654-771165 I love well done historical dramas even those that takes liberties with facts. This unfortunately is not well done. The actors try their hardest with the material they have and a few of them seem to given slightly better material than the others but their parts are pretty much are hampered by the poor writing. I understand that the youth of the actors is for the target audience so that can be forgiven (and the fact they all look like they were models previously) but who ever is in charge of wardrobe must be hampered by the budget. First season is in 1942 in occupied territories but everyone is wearing clothing freshly laundered (soap by then was scarce)and looks as if it was bought recently. Even the soldiers looked as if their uniforms were just issued (likely new is cheaper than used-looking in budgetary terms) Vehicles all look as if they've been leased from collectors than from suppliers that specialize in supplying war-torn vehicles to the industry. All of this could be forgiven if the writing was better. A couple of examples; they parachute into France to exchange real atom bomb research with phony stuff because that will hamper the German effort?!? They supposedly know exactly what the papers look like (so they produced exact copies with screwed up equations to substitute with) and knew where the guy with them would be so they could do the switch. However, even knowing all of this they had no idea he was gay which almost screwed up the operation! Next episode in occupied France (once again) and their contact was a jazz singing African American lady that somehow the "Master Race" allowed to continue to perform. The leaps the viewer is asked to ignore are numerous; large groups such as these were almost never inserted into Axis territories and certainly not to do what these are tasked to do. The death rate of agents was horrendous and certainly few were as lucky as these. Insertion and removal at such a frequency never occurred (would have been much more believable if they remained in occupied France. Hesitation to kill is just a silly plot device. The captured team member plot line is just silly as well. Hopefully the actors can overcome the cartoon they've been given to perform along with the amateurish production values and once they go onto new projects they will flourish.

starfield-50943 Absolutely awful. I watched this show because of Warren Brown. The acting is amateurish and the show is so unrealistic that you would have to have been born yesterday to enjoy it. Even Warren Brown couldn't save this one. I can't believe that a show this bad would even make it through the first viewing at the studio before it was distributed for the general public. I downloaded the whole first season and could hardly make it through the first episode. The only saving grace is that the show is so stupid as to be laughable. It would do a lot better as a comedy like Hogan's Heroes. I really can't say any more except that you would have to know very little about what truly went on with the French resistance during WWII to watch this show without breaking into laughter. The German Soldiers and Officers were not stupid oafs as they are made out to be in this series. As a matter of fact the Germans had the finest army in the world at the time. This was recognized by all the allies. The Allied agents dropped into Europe known as the Jedbergs were not there having a lovely war with some romance on the side. Many of them were captured and killed. The French people were not all part of the resistance movement. Many of them just lived their lives as normal under Nazi occupation and some collaborated with the enemy to save themselves. The war certainly wasn't like a Hollywood movie with cartoon characters which the actors in this series portray. I would not recommend this series to any serious person -- perhaps a teenager who knows nothing of the war might find it exiting drama.

Leslie T This show is a brilliant highlight of Canadian TV. There are many people who are quick to point out historical inaccuracies - there are some in every crowd who insist on making it less fun for the rest of us - but this show is emotional, fast-paced, and fairly accurate for a show that is only loosely based on a real life spy camp in WWII.The acting is brilliant. Warren Brown (Luther) is a gift to Canadian TV as tough guy Neil Mackay, Jack Laskey intrigues as synesthesiac Alfred Graves, and Evelyne Brochu (of Orphan Black fame) shines as front-running woman Aurora Luft. Up-and-coming Torontonian Connor Price is brilliant as young Harry, and Dustin Milligan is great as Tom (although this last character took a bit of time to grow).The few episodes following the pilot were a bit slow, but the last few episodes of Season 1 were brilliant. Dramatic, exciting, and emotionally-driven. Worth sticking around for.This show displays great acting talent and features some brilliant writers. But most importantly, it's a way for Canadians to learn more about the country's history in the Second World War, which is often overlooked.I'm hooked.
