It doesn't lose any steam, it powers on through to its conclusion. Yahrzeit is a heart breaking story, of course it deals with the Nazis cruelty, the diabolical treatment of the Jews, but it goes deeper than that, giving you an insight into the Megele regime. You'd be thick skinned not to be moved.
Michelle Forbes has been excellent as Sarah, was finally nice to see Boyd let his hair down, and relax, we've not seen Boyd at peace since series one. Why, oh why, did they have to give us that awful backdrop, we know it was probably the United States of London in reality.
The best story of this mixed series, we've had Indiana Jones, LSD, and several other crazy themes, this one is altogether more believable somehow.
Superb performances, they were all excellent, Eileen Atkins though, she's the show stealer here.
I wonder if they knew whether or not the show was coming back at this point, it does have a final end feeling to it.
Outstanding, powerful drama 10/10.
