MORE DRAMA than Land Girls One-same uniform colors
BBC honors farm service gals of WWII again, with more fictional drama, & winning awards. Remember, this is not documentary, and the same old "wrong color" uniforms that caused such a stir in Series 1 are used. But with nostalgic flair. Land gals sure can fill those bib overhauls. The aesthetic license taken to make this a beautiful scenic series within a war period adventure works well again. The writing is authentic enough to keep this war gals' story away from the column of `chick flic'. It's home front reality, scripted as fiction.
Awesome sets. The cast becomes characters you quickly believe in and consider family. Land girls Joyce's (Becci Gemmell) spouse is MIA, Bea (Jo Woodcock-`Dorian Gray') mom to a boy not her hubby's, are back. New LG Connie (Seline Hizli) sexy singing flirt, who taunts the pub pianist Henry (Liam Garrigan), also new, and also clergy. A great sub-plot.
Also returned from Series 1 is Esther (Susan Cookson), her son Martin (Mykola Allen), fat...
Worth watching
I love this series and only wish there were more episodes. It has humor, romance, action, and history. It shows many things that happened in England during the war to the everyday people who were doing their best to support the troops. It portrays many of the hardships these people endured, especially the women who were left behind. It grabbed my interest and held it for every episode.
Very good.
Enjoyed both series 1 and 2. Another interesting view of the life during WWII.
What both women and men did to survie and for their country.
