This was by far the best thing the BBC have done for a long time - great performances from the cast, in particular Sam Riley, a twist at the end, and it kept its mystique until the final fast paced episode. The music was amazing. I must admit I wasn't expecting much as it promised to be a rehash of the usual Nazi themes, but it wasn't. I was hooked from episode 1. Will be very disappointed if they just leave it at that - there was so much unresolved. For those who just want the usual pulp American action series that go on forever or who also watch reality TV (just outlining a psychological profile here) this may not appeal. It was cerebral, with plenty of twists and the action only really happened in the final episode. What it had in spades was wonderful attention to period detail and carefully understated acting that still managed to convey great tension and emotion. I'm not giving any further detail as it would be a shame to spoil it. There is a twist but you need a sense of subtlety to understand the full meaning. I really hope the full team who did this do more or do a follow up - they have a lot of talent (I don't know them by the way!)Still feeling a bit emotional about the ending as you can probably tell.

The Germans had won the Battle of Britain invaded and history would have taken a sinister turn for the worse. The truth is we will never know but this series based on Len Deightons book does an admirable job of suggesting what might have been. Sam Reilly plays a Scotland Yard detective now under the rule of the SS who is torn between his new masters and his loyalty to King and country. Whilst not as good as Amazons big budget Man In The High Castle. It still raises many questions of might have been.

What to make of SS GB? There's are a lot that's familiar here and a little that's more exotic. First off the familiar. This series shares a lot in common with films like Casablanca. A sleuth, a mysterious woman and a conspiracy of sorts, set against the backdrop of Nazi occupation.The feel of the series, I believe, quite intentionally tries to capture the atmosphere of this era of film. The detective is a sophisticated type, well educated and debonair in a very 40's kind of way. The blonde love interest, mysterious and stylish. Its all quite calculated and in a superficial way, it works. The exotic comes in the form of an alternate history, where the Germans win the Battle of Britain and occupy the country. Its a novel idea but not that novel. After all, The Man in the High Castle, takes a similar premise. The real question is does all of this amount to much? I'd say this series is partially successful. The relationship between the SS and the UK police detective, is a little predictable and the overriding conspiracies need something more. Tying to snatch the King out of the clutches of the SS and spirit him away to safety is not really all that interesting. There's a degree of tiresome elitism about the premise, that's not terribly appealing. There's a nuclear conspiracy thing going on too, that is a little more promising. As it stands an interesting watch. Lets see where it goes. Seven out of ten from me.

Although some parts are difficult to understand due to audio quality. The series has some good scenes of London and an opportunity to consider how German occupation would have effected the populous. The 'real' evils of the Nazis does bubble to the surface, but, as yet, not in any horrendous form. I do believe, reading somewhere, that the Nazis were planning a large camp just outside St. Albans, North of London, as they would have taken advantage of the rail network, as they did elsewhere! Worth watching if only not to forget the evil that took place during war.
