Rueben's Ramblings

On February 16, the 90-minute mystery Murder on the Homefront will debut on PBS at 10 PM.

Set during the London Blitz of 1940, the mystery sheds a different light on the everyday horrors of living in a city where death can visit at any moment. Vibrant, defiant and energetic, this is a world of people living life for the moment. It is also a world where criminals can use the blackout and devastation to hide their darkest activities. As the Luftwaffe drop their bombs from above, below people are literally getting away with murder.

The cast includes Patrick Kennedy (Boardwalk Empire and Downton Abbey), James Fleet (Little Dorrit) and Tamzin Merchant (Pride & Prejudice).

Here is a trailer for Murder on the Homefront.
