We also finished "All the Light We Do Not See" on Netflix. Not having read the book, I didn't know what to expect. Very good.

AND she was so accomplished- what she did in her life amazes me. If you have not read the Wiki on her, I recommend it. What a woman.

The theme this time is the ugly duckling getting her handsome suitor after all. They have done a nice job making the characters familiar and fun.

Is there more to it than that?

You have to buy into the silly to enjoy it. No other redeeming substance whatsoever.

Solid cast and story. Easy to binge in two nights if that's your style. We did the first three a la carte then plunged in for the second half.

Worth a turn just for the acting.
