Don't get me wrong, on artistic or screenplay level it's not bad television series.
What makes it unreliable is that the director didn't include any - not even a small one - topic about tragic fate of Jews during WW2 on polish occupied territories.
Jews were huge part of polish society then and intertwined with polish people on so many levels, it is unforgivable that they weren't even mentioned in this tv series, like...they never existed.
It is no wonder because postwar poland and its cinematography was very much antisemitic, and promoted fake narration than poles were the only victims from Nazis.
The series also omits totalitarian role of Soviet Union but this is more explainable than omission of Jews history, due to censorship in poland until 1989.
Summing it up, this not historically reliable series, and was negatively reviewed by professional historians. In poland it may have high rating because of polish sentiments and general ignorance of Jews tragic history.
