    It's such an amazing show, everyone needs to give this show a chance, you get hooked from the first episode alone. It's not a slow drama, it's actually a funny show with tons of things happening every episode, although the ending will bring you to tears, the show never loses its lightness.

    At eight episodes, A Small Light is far too long, but via Gies’s story it succeeds as an evocative retelling of an oft-documented tragedy.

    Taking a heroic approach to that time is always risky, but “A Small Light” does a fine job of it. Without ignoring the fate of the people in the annex, and without turning into a mushy inspirational tale, the series honors Miep’s and Jan’s courage and disgust of fascism.

    First-rate. ... Powley renders Gies an endearingly flawed and emotional volatile heroine. [8 - 21 May 2023, p.6]
