We've seen this movie 100 times before - Jewish Europeans try to survive the Holocaust. They start off naive of the threat of Nazi Germany, then get a rude awakening, then do everything they can to survive. Unfortunately, the way the characters and story is portrayed in this particular series is just uninspiring. It has struggled to keep my attention, struggled to make me connect with/care for the specific characters (beyond the obvious care/connection you feel for the real, historical people that suffered through these events). The script is weak at times, the actor chemistry is off, the show just seems very flat through the first few episodes. Inconsistent acting quality... hope this improves, I will gladly change my review if it does That is such a shame since the show says this is a "true story."
