“War, espionage, the atomic bomb, skiing — this Danish-British-Norwegian production about Germany’s plan to build an atomic bomb (using the substance of the title) and the Allied attempts at sabotage has it all. Especially skiing; you cannot commit sabotage in Norway without a heavy dose of skiing.

The series is a mix of military procedural (the planning and practicing of various missions) and scientific intrigue (Werner Heisenberg, the German physicist, plays a main role). It’s suspenseful television done compactly.” Gilber Cruz, NY Times
