Clicked off after 5 minutes, horrible historical errors.


1943 the war was not on the balance. That was '42. But the real kicker was the character speaking about the faulty range detectors (no such thing used vs subs) and then saying "That's not the ISSUE..." It's _problem_. That's the word everyone used until at least the 70's and not really much until the 10's. Ridiculousness piled upon ridiculousness. The show was decent in the first season but the second season started dumbing it down. Obviously this "special" followed the trend dumbwards.

During WWII Canadian English was much more "British" than it is now. "Problem" is an American word... "issue" was much more likely to be used in the mid-40s.
