The first episode was a little slow but boy did it hot up after that. This is one of the most outstanding series I have seen in years. The young leads were both fabulous, the story tragic and heartbreaking. I found myself grateful for the poignant love story as a juxtaposition to the horror of this story that for me perfectly dovetailed in with my other reading of Auschwitz, like Primo Leo's "If this is a man" as well as non fiction references.
I have wondered all my life how such an horrific thing could actually ever happen, lately I've begun to see how.
I am truly grateful to have a series do this period of history justice without over dwelling on the horror but giving us a window into the period.
Thank God we didn't have to endure insensitive, stupid "diversity" casting that is now appearing everywhere and having me switch off most TV.
