Wish Me Luck: Series Two

One of the best war series produced on TV
"Wish Me Luck" has everything a good WWII series should have: interesting characters, suspense, triumph and tragedy, as well as a good dose of realism about the terrible pressures faced at all times by the incredibly brave men and women who went undercover to work with the French Resistance groups. I only wish that the entire series was available in North America - I have series 1 only - and it's awful to be left hanging without seeing series 2 and 3. I did see these when "Wish Me Luck" was originally shown on TV, but I would like to be able to show this story in its entirety to the younger generation of my family. I feel that this series is an education for young people, now so far removed from the Second World War.

Really Good British Historical Drama
This is very good, it's interesting to see things in history that we never heard about, can't wait until the next one comes out. You can't find any better period pieces than the ones the British make.
I had not heard of this, but thanks to Amazon sending me emails with things they think I might like, I have discovered many new series that I have never heard of.

WOMEN OF THE SPY WORLD in WWII EUROPEAN FIELD
SOE thriller, action, suspense, top-notch. British women in the Special Operations Executive branch of the war fought in silence, often leading men, risking all they had, and in the case of these great episodes also finding romance occasionally along the way. But duty also preceeded any romance. Beautiful, but tough women, all taking place in 1943. It's a different part of the allied War on the European Front. Women in strong roles, history (based on real stories), and tense episodes. 7 excellent episodes that do run a continuing story, picked up from the previous season. So good my wife and I could not stop and watched all 7 one after another in a single day, breaks only to fix food.

This series 2 is even better than "WISH ME LUCK: Series 1" and could be used alone, but if you've not seen the first, you might want to consider finding both sets. More military/spy action/fighting in this 2nd series. And there surely will be a final coming some day. WISH ME LUCK ran on TV for...
