* ArtisticLicenseMilitary: In the final episode, von Rumpel mounts a hand grenade on the [[spoiler: door to Marie-Laure's radio room after finding out where she lives.]] As he prepares to blow it open, he tells [[spoiler:her]] to step away as the grenade will be filled with shrapnel. However, the grenade he's using is the German Stielhandgranate M24, which was actually a concussion grenade that lacked the shrapnel effect of the more common fragmentation grenades used by the Allies. While a small amount of steel fragments would have still been released by the grenade's thin casing, it was most certainly not filled with shrapnel.

The series is set in the European theater of UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. It follows two teenagers whose fates converge in the French seaside city of Saint-Malo as Allied bombardment sets it ablaze. Marie-Laure [=LeBlanc=] (Creator/AriaMiaLoberti) is a blind French girl who, along with her locksmith father Daniel (Creator/MarkRuffalo), flees Paris to live with their reclusive uncle Etienne (Creator/HughLaurie). Werner Pfennig (Creator/LouisHofmann) is a German boy with a talent for engineering, who is eventually recruited into the Wehrmacht and hears the illegal radio broadcasts from Marie-Laure and her family. Meanwhile, a Nazi jeweler (Creator/LarsEidinger) seeks Marie-Laure as he believes she holds the Sea of Flames, a diamond rumored to bestow immortality on its owner but misfortune on everyone else.

* AdaptationalAlternateEnding: The book ends decades after the war, with [[spoiler:an elderly Marie-Laure receiving the model house from Jutta]]. The series ends after St. Malo's liberation, with [[spoiler:Werner and Marie-Laure being separated and Marie-Laure throwing the Sea of Flames into the sea]]. By also excising one of the book's last scenes where [[spoiler:Werner is killed by a landmine]]; [[SparedByTheAdaptation the adaptation leaves it open that the character could have survived]].

** Von Rumpel asks a museum curator for the locations of the jewels in the museum by telling his subordinate to shoot the curator's family if he doesn't return home in half an hour. He then asks the curator where the Sea of Flames is. The curator tells him about Daniel instantly, but is locked in the vault for his troubles.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: In the book, Mme. Manec is Etienne's KindlyHousekeeper. In the show, she is his sister and thus also Daniel and Marie-Laure's aunt.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Marie is auburn-haired in the book, but is played by the brunette Aria Mia Loberti.

** LighterAndSofter: The series skims over some of the darker elements of the book. Frederick, Werner's friend from the Institute who was [[spoiler:systematically tortured by the commandant]], is written out entirely, with only a few parts of his ordeal rolled into Werner's story. It also only briefly touches on Werner's days as part of brutal anti-partisan operations in occupied Europe, where his unit [[spoiler:accidentally kill an innocent mother and child in Vienna]]. The story ends on a far lighter note, too, with [[spoiler:Werner's death by stepping on a landmine]] and [[spoiler:Jutta's sexual assault at the hands of Soviet troops]] omitted entirely.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Both versions of Etienne begin the story as shut-ins, but the show's version of him is less delicate than that of the book and is more of a snarky man of action. Notably, he doesn't take ''days'' to come out of his room and meet Marie-Laure.

* AnachronicOrder: Like the source novel, the book jumps between the ongoing battle of St. Malo and the events in Marie-Laure's and Werner's lives that lead them there.

** Werner's boss Müller forces him to uncover Marie-Laure's location by reminding him that the Nazi Party knows where Jutta lives and can have her die a painful death if they so choose.

Meanwhile,

* ArtisticLicense: Werner refused to obey orders, hid information about Marie's clandestine broadcasts and [[spoiler: killed one of his comrades, albeit in self-defense]], and yet he was allowed to live on just because he was the only radio operator the Germans had in the town. In reality, he would have been executed almost immediately, regardless of his skills.

* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Von Rumpel doesn't shoot Marie at the end of episode 1 because he thinks he can get the location of the Sea of Flames out of her.
