Several people have commented on Billie's lip and accent. I can't say I really noticed.
The labour camps thing is difficult. I don't want to say that entertainment should never touch on serious issues but there will have been plenty of people watching who had friends or relatives put into camps of one sort or another and I do feel that something that happened within living memory should be treated with a bit of weight if you are going to use it, rather than used as a throw away piece of set dressing. Of course, its difficult to square that view, with the completely casual treatment of violent death we readily accept in entertainment.
