Home Fires (Seasons 1–2)

Home Fires (2015) is a British wartime drama you can watch online on iFILM, set in the Cheshire village of Great Paxford as the Second World War breaks out. Samantha Bond, Ruth Gemmell, Clare Rushbrook and Francesca Annis lead the ensemble cast.

When the men ship out in September 1939, the women left behind hold the village together through the local Women's Institute branch. Each carries something heavy — a kept secret, a broken marriage, grief she can't afford to show. What makes the series stand out is its refusal to frame the home front as a lesser kind of courage.
