About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a WWII thriller that mixes a villain-focused rise-to-power story with a resistance mission, especially as a companion to The Stronghold; Not for you if you need tight pacing and a single clear focus.
Pros: strong lead performances; grim wartime atmosphere; interesting historical angle | Cons: uneven two-part focus; slow pacing for some; rushed or sketchy details
