ReplyDeleteIt is on Netflix, so it will be.
DeleteI learned about this series in euro TV place, but couldn't bring myself to place it in my list to watch this winter. My distrust in Netflix has reached unreasonable limits, but I have seen them distorting history in Trasatlantic ad distorting the book in their adaptation of All the Light that Cannot see that I don't trust their approach to WWII, Nazis and The Holocaust.
ReplyDeleteTwill be a film, not a series, deary. We are witnessing a massive rewrite of history to ease the conscience of those who sided with the Nazis, I imagine because fascism and Nazism are getting strength again. And those who fought against and were the key in destroying it, like us, Jews and Russians, are being vilified now by the very Nazi nations.
DeleteJust look how they depict Sisi and Franz in such a likeable, sexy way, even though them bastards were the reasons why WW1 started.
Oh, in EuroTVPlace just said 'drama". Good, now I don't have to see it. You nailed it. I'm not harsh on collaboration, since there were many reasons behind it. I don't know what I would have done, what my choices would have been if I had lived then (and not being Jewish), but I resent that in an effort to whitewash collaborationists, modern fiction mudslings Allied and Jews.
DeleteNope, twill be a film.
DeleteThis time period is just so sad and hard to watch for me.
ReplyDeleteTrue, I sometimes have to read WW2 books for my publisher and it is always such a pain.
DeleteThis is one that I will watch on Netflix, though as Malena pointed out, they do tend to rewrite history as they see fit, so I'll go into it without any hope that they stick with facts. Merely a time passer.
ReplyDeleteI mean they are famous for their CROWN series in which everything is turned upside down and nothing is true. It is very dangerous because they vilified poor Charles with it using lies and false truths.
DeleteThe Crown was wildly popular here. I did not watch it though. I've read that the royal family gets pissed when people bring the show up in conversation with them. Rightfully so since it's filled with untruths.
DeleteYes, like in most other things, Americans have a very distorted view of the royals so they trust everything the Crown show says and take it as truth and it could not be any further than truth.
