My husband watched it and enjoyed it. I walked in on the first episode and asked him where Judd Hirsch was. My husband was confused. Judd Hirsch wasn’t in the show. Then I was confused-- all TV shows were Jews a featured part MUST contain Mr. Hirsch.

Many hours later, hubby called me over to see. “You were right! There’s Judd Hirsch!”

I think it says that in the Bible. Yes, the OT, obviously.

> Thanks **gdave**. So I saw the same thing. I was puzzled about the Joe connection and thought I’d missed something earlier that explained it. And they never revealed who Harriet is talking to on the phone, right? She specifically told that person that the Colonel was dead, didn’t she?

Sorry, I don’t really remember that part. But, I don’t think they revealed who Harriet was talking to.

There are more than enough actual concentration camp atrocities to choose from to show how bad the Nazis were, or to illustrate the evil of any particular Nazi. But this show makes up its own, which doesn’t help the story any, but cheapens, and makes it that much easier for fucknuts to discount, the actual things that happened. I quit early in the 2nd episode

That’s exactly where I dropped it, for exactly the same reasons. They really didn’t need to embellish the Nazi’s of all people.

A shame because the rest of it seemed pretty decent.

Did they not muck about with the history in Munich too though, something about another group out to assassinate the assassins, who were meant to personify the fear of getting caught or the like.
