Netflix war drama based on much-loved best-selling book fans say is 'exquisite'

Netflix’s four-episode miniseries adaptation of Anthony Doerr’s best-selling World War II novel All the Light We Cannot See is drawing attention for its emotional story and performances. Originally published in 2014 and later recognized as a New York Times Best Seller, the book follows two teenagers whose lives intersect amid the Second World War, alternating viewpoints on opposing sides. The series, released about a decade later, stars Aria Mia Loberti, Louis Hofmann, Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie. The plot centers on Marie-Laure, a blind French girl fleeing Paris with a valuable diamond, and Werner, a German soldier tasked with radio repairs in Nazi-occupied France. Reviews cited on IMDb describe it as “exquisite” and “moving.”
