    • Trivia
      Not renewed after 6 episodes. The final episode leaves many plot elements unresolved.
    • Goofs
      One of the daughters sings in the nightclub at the beginning "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree." It wasn't written then, and not until 1942. Further, its entire message is from an American girl to her American GI during the war. That apple tree is somewhere in rural America. Not in the Channel Islands. This scene takes places a year or two prior to America even entering the war.
    • Quotes

      [Leutnant Walker has invited Zelda to have a drink with him in a pub]

      Zelda Kay: You think I'm friendly?

      Leutnant Walker: Well, you're drinking with me.

      Zelda Kay: And you're paying. I'm merely observing an alien species - much as one goes to the zoo.

    Great Show!

    If you like good drama and shows about WWII, you will love this show. Every single actor is excellent and the romantic subplots are delicious. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel.

    I've watched the show several times and each time have found new lines and facial expressions that add more to the characters and the plot.

    I can only imagine what life on those lovely islands must have been like when occupied by the enemy but I think this show depicts it as good as possible. Yes, the Germans were "just people" until they did something to make the people realize that they WERE in control. To fraternize or not? How would I have acted in that situation. . . . Makes one think.
