Close to the Enemy: Written and directed by acclaimed auteur Stephen Poliakoff (Dancing on the Edge), this sweeping wartime drama is “bold, and beautiful, haunting, clever, and original” (Guardian, UK). An all-star cast including Jim Sturgess, Alfred Molina, Angela Bassett, Alfie Allen, Lindsay Duncan, Charlotte Riley, and August Diehl anchors this lavish British drama set in a bomb-damaged London hotel during the aftermath of WWII. Intelligence officer Callum Ferguson (Sturgess) must complete his last task for the British Army: convince captured German scientist Dieter Koehler (Diehl) to work with the British government.
A new seven-part period drama: With the emerging Cold War, it is clear to all that it’s crucial for British national security that cutting-edge technology is made available to the armed forces as quickly as possible. Callum uses unorthodox methods in his attempt to convince Dieter to work with the British and eventually a friendship develops between the two men, but soon tensions arise, as all is not as it seems.
Over the course of the series, Callum encounters a number of other characters whose stories all intertwine. These characters include Victor (Highmore), Callum’s younger brother, struggling to deal with psychological trauma caused by his combat experience; Harold (Molina), a Foreign Office official who reveals some startling truths about the outbreak of the war; Rachel (Riley), an enchanting Anglophile American engaged to his best friend; and Kathy (Phoebe Fox, The Woman in Black 2), a tough young woman working for the War Crimes Unit, fighting to bring war criminals who escaped prosecution to justice. Each character is trying to rebuild and move forward in the aftermath of a war that scarred them all so deeply.

Medieval Lives: Birth, Marriage, Death, historian and author Dr. Helen Castor (She-Wolves: England’s Early Queens) examines how the people of the Middle Ages handled three of life’s great rites of passage–birth, marriage, and death. Why were physicians of no help to women enduring the pains of labor and the dangers of childbirth? Why were newly married couples “put to bed” by the priest on their wedding night? What did it mean to “die well” and why was death such a communal affair, both before and after it happened?

I love Acorn, I’ve already watched the entire series of “Where the Heart Is”, and now I’m streaming “A Place to Call Home”. I’m in period drama streaming Heaven!
I just carry my iPad around with me while working at night and weekends as i work full time, and then switch to my FireStick on the TV when I want to rest or knit.

We only stream media and have no cable or regular TV programming so we usually watch shows as a family. The whole family loved Downton Abbey and The Paradise, and I am set to start Season 2 of Poldark through Amazon. This is a great site and resource and I look forward to streaming ACORN TV.

A couple of my favorites are “Anzac Girls,” about Aussie and New Zealand nurses on the Turkish front in WWI and “Foyles War,” about an English police detective during WWII. Lots and lots of great stuff to choose from.
