The Heavy Water War (2015) 

English A great and amazingly accurate depiction of a particularly interesting era during the World War II that – surprisingly – involved Norway quite a lot. I won’t begin to describe how accurate and concise the show is because the reviewer Big Bear’s already managed that in their exhausting comment. However, I’d like to add that the Norwegians – no matter how well they can film great stories – have a problem putting some emotions into their main characters. But that’s only a tiny downside of the otherwise perfect show that tells such an interesting story over only five hours. You definitely shouldn’t miss it. ()
