This was, for the most part, an excellent telling of the Norwegian/British fight to stop the Germans from obtaining heavy water for their atomic bomb project. First the positives: it was gratifying to see a mock up of a Halifax bomber in the series as it was the real workhorse of the war and far too often is replaced in film by the Lancaster. Well done for that!! Also, uniforms and equipment was appropriate for the period. Now the negatives: 1. Americans were portrayed as loud mouthed morons - a staple in Brit made films (I know, Brits are portrayed similarly in American made films - but can we please get past this?). My main complaint, however, is the composite female lead character, whose PC complaining about bomb victims grated on the senses and was totally out of place. Can we please have one, just one film, without a gratuitous 21st century liberal stammering on? I was ready for her to begin complaining about global warming, for heaven's sake! Anyway, apart from that, well done.
