The basics are there for a solid series. An American group in Vichy France is trying to save various people with visas to flee to America.
The cinematography and scenes do a great job of 1940s Marseille. Costumes are well done. Other than that, problems about.
Everything is quirky mix of the serious and the silly. The music and titles reflect this. No one really seems too concerned about leaving, even after a huge group relocates to a villa that the authorities are well aware of. Everyone is partying, has plenty to eat and drink, look great in those costumes (too great).
The dialogue and themes are all 2020s not 1940s. Click all the necessary tropes: gay love, interracial love, a black female British SOE agent who acts as a deus ex machina in her extravagant outfits. Spies are supposed to blend in, right?
The acting is rather wooden. Jacobs is particularly unbelievable as a Chicago heiress funding it all, falling for every guy, all while porting the newest outfits. Two prison escapes are never explained; guys just walk out. And they just walk over the Pyrenees too?
Historical, not.
