Melissa White I think that X Company is one of the best shows on television. The fact it is Canadian is an extra bonus. I started watching because I was intrigued by the fact it was largely based on a Canadian spy camp and I have not been disappointed.The story lines are fantastic, the acting amazing and cinematography is breathtaking. I like the fact that the characters are flawed and are more than one dimensional.We are currently in the second season and every week I am impressed at how the storyline each week is more and more compelling. I can't wait to see what happens next.I hope more people give this amazing show a chance.

burlingtonbob This compelling Canadian-made drama hooked me from the first episode I watched this year. I happened to see the pilot after the first season was complete and therefore had to go on-line to catch up. The characters are well written and the story is realistic, if not entirely accurate historically. The Germans speak German which adds to the authenticity but I wonder why the French do not speak French for the most part. The settings, both outside and inside various buildings and other structures ring true and are carefully created. This adds greatly to the sense of period and makes the historic settings even more realistic. Having not been a tremendous fan of Canadian drama in the past I am thrilled to have found this series and highly recommend it. Even the cinematography is sound and avoids some of the 'cleverness' and 'artsiness' that sometimes makes Canadian drama difficult to watch.

Wilem MacLeod I've just finished watching season one and I was most impressed with this new programme. The characters are very well developed and their chemistry undeniable. I am very much looking forward to seeing how the story continues.The use of foreshadowing in the last few episodes gave you an idea of how things might end up, however, at the same time it made one question if what they were seeing wasn't in fact an image of the character's mysterious past.I found it very interesting how the production went to some lengths to humanize a small number of the German characters who are traditionally viewed as cold and heartless. Conversely, the assumedly good intentioned members of the underground movement are shown justifying their treachery of those who they are supposed to be saving as if the deaths of a few innocents were an acceptable cost in their ability to save others.The only complaint I have is the small number of episodes, but I'm hoping the positive ratings allow for a greater number of episodes in season two. Add this one to your list of must see programmes and you won't be disappointed.

Leslie T This show is a brilliant highlight of Canadian TV. There are many people who are quick to point out historical inaccuracies - there are some in every crowd who insist on making it less fun for the rest of us - but this show is emotional, fast-paced, and fairly accurate for a show that is only loosely based on a real life spy camp in WWII.The acting is brilliant. Warren Brown (Luther) is a gift to Canadian TV as tough guy Neil Mackay, Jack Laskey intrigues as synesthesiac Alfred Graves, and Evelyne Brochu (of Orphan Black fame) shines as front-running woman Aurora Luft. Up-and-coming Torontonian Connor Price is brilliant as young Harry, and Dustin Milligan is great as Tom (although this last character took a bit of time to grow).The few episodes following the pilot were a bit slow, but the last few episodes of Season 1 were brilliant. Dramatic, exciting, and emotionally-driven. Worth sticking around for.This show displays great acting talent and features some brilliant writers. But most importantly, it's a way for Canadians to learn more about the country's history in the Second World War, which is often overlooked.I'm hooked.
