World on Fire…….

Saw the first series and couldn’t understand why the brother, sister and father all had completely different accents. Guess it was fine because they were ‘northern’
 
I watched season 1 and enjoyed it but struggled a bit with the first episode of season 2. Part of that was because there was a 4 year gap between the two (partly due to Covid). Seems Sean Bean wasn’t available so his sudden disappearance was explained by his house being hit by a bomb. Similarly the daughter’s love interest just vanished without (so far) any explanation and also the American journalist. And the young Polish lad had changed from a small boy to a teenager in the space of a couple of months while his brother seemed to have become an OAP. I was beginning to think I’d missed a season or something.

It’s ok.

The loss of Sean Bean kind of ruined the second season for me. I suspect an entire storyline was lost as a result, which they’ve tried to re-thread, but didn’t quite work for me.

I think that’s right. I suspect he and Posh Mum were being lined up for some sort of romantic dalliance (opposites attract and all that) that won’t now be possible.

Yes. The son/brother came back from sea then disappeared again.

Yep... They brought in another character to fill out that romantic thread, but I'm not sure it's really worked that well.... All a bit odd really... Maybe Bean got a better offer or priced himself out of a job
 
Was this the one they filmed in St Annes for the first series? We were watching this from the sandhills and a woman walked right across the set with her dog in the middle of a battle. I don't think that happened at Dunkirk.
