Colditz

Why tonight?

• ◆One season, and then it ends — a story with a last episode, not a habit.
• ◆It goes hard on violence — not a wind-down.

The story

During World War II, the Germans convert the castle of Colditz into an escape-proof prison where recidivist escapees are imprisoned under one roof. The most accomplished escape artists are gathered there, brave soldiers who view escape not only as a challenge but as a duty, in order to harass and irritate German forces as much as they can.
