Original Netflix films and television shows have proved to be either hit or miss because you either absolutely love or absolutely hate them. But one of their newest films is one I know you'll absolutely love!

The backdrop of the film is post-World War II and we see how it affects various different groups of people. The main of which serves as the titular, 'The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society.'

And what a loveable bunch they are! We've got Michiel Huismann, known mostly for Game of Thrones and making every girl swoon. He doesn't disappoint in this film either. He plays Dawsey Adams, whose first name closely resembles the incredible Mr. Darcy, don't you think?

In addition, you'll recognize many of the star-studded cast if you loved Downton Abbey Alums Lily James, Matthew Goode, Jessica Brown Findlay, and Penelope Wilton star in what seems to be the mini-reunion before the Downton Abbey Film hits the big screen. Yes, your heart will be full with seeing each of them again!

While you might watch it for the cast, you'll love it for the story. (I promise there are no spoilers ahead!)

The film stays mostly true to the novel with its genuine love for classic literature, honest historical depictions, and charming dramatic romance.

If you are a bookworm, you'll want to join in on the societal gatherings about their favorite authors and stories. The characters become just as passionate as you do about 'Jane Eyre' and other classics. Watch it and be inspired by how these stories intertwine in a most realistic and original way. You'll see how they made it through the war in flashbacks but how it continues to affect them in the aftermath.

History buffs will enjoy the film just as much as the hopeless romantics will because while History tells us the facts about how awful the war really was, we rarely get to see the aftermath depicted in fiction. Instead, fiction tends to show that people moved on after the war, but not the process of moving on. To really understand how cruel and dark the times really were, we need to see how people picked up the pieces and moved on. 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society' lightheartedly tells this very story while still revealing the authentic brokenness and harsh reality of post-World War II.

How do these few colorful individuals get through it? Participating in book clubs, eating potato peel pie, and leaning on each other.

While I promised a no spoiler review, I am going to have to spoil you this one. You won't be disappointed by this unforgettable period drama.

If you still need more convincing, just watch the trailer.
