I completely missed this show though I was peripherally aware of it. I was surprised to learn, now it being late-July of 2019, that it premiered almost _eight_ years ago. Amazon has the entire series for $10 which is a real bargain for something as rich as this amazing show is.

specially if you have been in Paris in the 70s and you know what Paris smells... Rotten Fish and Garbage bins and thats not a joke unfortunately. I am happy the Parisennes have their garbage problem fixed in the meantime

She's québécoise by the way, not french! 😊 You can tell in her accent.

@@AmedeeBoulette Half half.

the stories were interesting but the dialogue was terrible

Not just any .. But the anthem's version during Nazi Germany. That's why it was so cringy. The words had been already softened by the time of her singing.

Colette was a Jew who lost her family to the Nazis as a child. She would harbour bitterness to all Germans.

It was a shame they pulled the plug on the show too soon. It was getting better and better with each episode

Thank you for elaborating. As a non American, I just could not figure out why. This show is magical.

beautiful clip, thank you so much!

Just like the Romans and the Greeks did? Or the French? Or the English? Or the Russians? Or like the Chinese want to do?

@@pxtokarev lovely

The fact that you don't understand the words of the National Anthem just shows your ignorance not your knowledge.

There is certainly a strong resemblance, particularly in the way they have her hair cut & styled.

What? Overact to the Nazis?

Please translate! 😊 portuguese to english: Ela se forçou a cantar o hino! Ela não cantou porque ela realmente quis. Ela carregava um trauma de infância em relação aos nazistas, e cantar o hino alemão foi uma tentavia de se "reconciliar" com o país e com os alemães, inclusive tentando agrada-los, cantando para esses dois alemães de terno.

@@piterfanpsi Translation: 'She is forced to sing the anthem. She does not sing because she really wants to. She carried a trauma from her childhood with regard to the Nazis, and singilng the German anthem was an attempt to 'treconcile' herself with the counry and with the Germans, including an effort to make herself agreeable to them, singing for these two kind Germans.' I'm not sure I agree. She sings the Nazi version of the anthem and does so with great intensity to drive home what she thinks of the people who killed her parents. It is a sensational moment. Karine's mastery of languages is formidable.

It was Hitler‘s national anthem as she was forced to learn as a child growing up in occupied France at the time I didn’t know what it was either so I was a little shocked and awed to see that nobody was clapping for her since she had a beautiful voice.

Not really, no, she didn’t try to please them. It was a rebuke from the get-go.

This show is about the generation lost everything and slowly rebuilt their lives while they grieved and overcame fear and depression. Two world war so close together would leave everyone suffering and living with real trauma for the rest of their lives xo
