England, 1941. Germany, having successfully invaded in 1940, is now in control of the UK. The SS now run the country but for general law and order, a famed Scotland Yard detective. Archer walks a thin line, as his job requires him to work closely with the despised SS, the vanguard of Nazi fascism. To some this makes him a traitor. An English resistance movement exists but Archer believes that resistance is futile and will only lead to further bloodshed. Then a murder case draws him into the struggle, and into a plot of international proportions. A British homicide detective investigates a murder in a German-occupied England in a parallel universe where the Nazis won World War II. Although some parts are difficult to understand due to audio quality. The series has some good scenes of London and an opportunity to consider how German occupation would have effected the populous. The 'real' evils of the Nazis does bubble to the surface, but, as yet, not in any horrendous form. I do believe, reading somewhere, that the Nazis were planning a large camp just outside St. Albans, North of London, as they would have taken advantage of the rail network, as they did elsewhere! Worth watching if only not to forget the evil that took place during war. After the first entertaining 10 minutes this degeneratest into a slooowww boring detective mystery. Frankly the only mystery to me is why they made it, obviously they didn't review it afterwards or if they did they also fell asleep watching it ….<br/><br/>Quite honestly I just didn't care who did what by half way through and the whole idea that the nazI won the 2nd war seems largely irrelevant.<br/><br/>Just a boring un inspired mess. Read the book instead.
