5.0 out of 5 stars Enemy at the Door-Series 2, December 2, 2002

This review is from: Enemy at the Door - Series 2 (DVD)

This set continues the series that is a must watch for everyone. Not only do you feel the deprivations,hardships, and fears of the Islanders (from Guernsey), but you understand that all the Germans in WWII were not the same. Because the island is self-contained, it's almost as though you can understand the ramifications of what it would have been like if Germany had won this war. You also feel what it's like to be "occupied". In spite of this oppression, one also comes to respect some of the German officers, and sees the progression of the occupying SS officer's downfall into pure evil as he makes choices that hurt everyone, but most of all himself.
My husband and I could not stop watching this and feel it is one the most eye-opening, thought-provoking series we have ever seen. We're hoping there is a series 3. Watch this(after you have seen series 1)-you can't go wrong.

This review is from: Enemy at the Door - Series 2 (DVD)

This was one of the best series on World War II that I have ever seen. The characters showed that there were good and bad people on both sides. The complex issues of dealing with the occupying forces along with the daily one of getting enough food and keeping warm and prevention of diseases in a weakened population was was certainly realistic. Excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and Informative, March 2, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Enemy at the Door - Series 2 (DVD)

As dumb as this sounds, I did not realize Britain owned the islands portrayed in the film, much less the fact they were occupied during the war. Best World War II shows I've seen in ages. When is Series 3 coming out?
