GamerTab That was an excellent one.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

grantss England, 1941. Germany, having successfully invaded in 1940, is now in control of the UK. The SS now run the country but for general law and order they rely on the British Police. One such policeman is Superintendent Douglas Archer (Sam Riley), a famed Scotland Yard detective. Archer walks a thin line, as his job requires him to work closely with the despised SS, the vanguard of Nazi fascism. To some this makes him a traitor. An English resistance movement exists but Archer believes that resistance is futile and will only lead to further bloodshed. Then a murder case draws him into the struggle, and into a plot of international proportions.A decent whodunnit, alternate history and espionage drama, all rolled into one. Based on a novel by Len Deighton, there is a fair amount of intrigue and the whole "What if?"" scenario of Germany conquering the UK is interesting too.Not entirely compelling though. Not everything makes sense, some things feel contrived, there are inaccuracies and inconsistencies which make the script and direction feel a bit loose and the ending (of Season 1) is a bit of a let-down.Overall: intriguing enough, but feels a bit flat in the end. Hopefully there is a second season, as Season 1 feels a bit up-in- the-air. I was under the impression that this is a mini series though, which doesn't bode well for us that want some sort of closure to the story.

By-TorX-1 By coincidence, I read Len Deighton's novel only a few weeks before discovering that it had been dramatised by the BBC, so the plot and characters were fresh as I watched SS-GB. Overall, I think it is an effective drama (I'm not concerned with the 'Mumblegate' that has surrounded the series) with a number of strong performances, especially those of Lars Eidinger as Oskar Huth and Maeve Dermody as Sylvia (whose role is nicely expanded upon in comparison to the novel). Yes, Sam Riley is a little on the young side to fully convince as 'Archer of the Yard', but he does provide a stylish presence, and it would be good to see more of the character. Fundamentally, the concept is an imaginative one, however the reality of a Nazi-occupied Britain does not quite come off due to obvious budget restrictions, as such, the scale and social impact of the German military presence is never really fully established or effectively visualised. Furthermore, the series really needed an extra episode as the plot strands (the atomic research base attack and the freeing of the King) rather abruptly come to a crux. However, by adding some revisions to Deighton's plot, the series does leave the way open for further Archer adventures, which hopefully will appear in the near-future

Prismark10 From the co-writers of the last six James Bond films. Based on a novel by Len Deighton and set in an alternate Britain where the Nazis occupy Great Britain comes this turd of a five part series. Sam Riley channels John Hurt as Superintendent Archer investigating crimes while dealing with his Nazi bosses and also mixed up with the British resistance.There were a few good money shots like Big Ben draped with the Nazi flag but alas it looked cheap, with too many interior shots with people talking and talking and more talking. It had bleached out colours when it should had been colourful. It should had a stronger plot and more action.The ratings fell of a cliff which just about sums it up.

alex (doorsscorpywag) I read the book when it was first released and thoroughly enjoyed it. Sadly this rubbish is not remotely enjoyable. The characters in this TV drama are so dull compared to the characters in the book..Superintendent Archer of the yard looks like a teenager with his miracle suit and overcoat that always looks cool even when crawling though a bombed out house. Then back in action with his hat and collar at the right jaunty angle. He has the personality of a pencil.Kellerman seems about as menacing as Sooty and only Huth captures the complexity of the character in the book. His is the only one worth screen time. Barca is a bore and even Harry who is a pivotal character in the book seems just another supporting cast to Archer and his hat and coat. He must be the best dressed man in Britain as everyone else looks shabby by comparison. Mumbling his way around London entangling himself in the Labyrinthine politics of the German Army, SS and the Resistance who are some posh blokes in a club who dress nicely but are left in awe of Archer's hat and coat. I will keep watching to see if the hat and coat suffer any degradation as they solve the mystery and confound the Nazi.We should be thankful as the King & Queen are safe but I am sure even they would be outshone by Archer and his hat and coat.
