Netflix teases: "Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance.

"Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope."

Aria Mia Loberti herself is legally blind and has previously opened up on the importance of her role. Since its release in 2023, the four part series is available to stream on Netflix as fans have commented on its high emotion.

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, one fan said: "Even after all the war she's been through she's still standing . . this made me sob like a child deep inside my soul, just wow it's perfection."

Another wrote: "One of the most amazing war related TV shows out there. I wish more people knew of it. It has a beautiful, moving storyline, wonderful actors portraying strong and thoughtful characters.

"The atmosphere of war, the dressing, the music set the right mood for the viewer to enjoy. And it's got deep messages, love, care, light in it. I highly recommend."

A fourth replied: "Moving storylines, underlying statements about class, intelligence, and education. Excellent sets. A series with all the emotions."

Another said: "We loved this series. There have been a million WW2 movies and series but they came from a perspective I have never seen before. Only thing I didn't like was it was only 4 episodes."

All The Light We Cannot See is available to stream on Netflix.
