Title: All the Light We Cannot See

Review: The four part limited series is an ambitious attempt to follow the wonderful and complex 2014 bestselling novel by Anthony Doerr about a blind French girl broadcasting coded Allied secrets from a remote town shortwave radio at the defining moments of the second world war. Set in the Nazi stronghold of St. Malo, France as it is being overrun by the advancing allied army, it is a powerful tale of perseverance and redemption. Loberti shines in the meaty main role and Ruffalo and Laurie are excellent as her father and great uncle. A poignant portrait of the heroism of the French resistance that dos not quite do justice to the elaborately conceived masterful novel, but is certainly worth consideration its own merit.
