Reviews

Clearly the people who have given this show a bad review are either uneducated or used to watching miss marple. All I will say is watch it and judge for your self, it is well plotted, well acted, well set. If you have the mind set of a 10 year old then watch grange hill instead.

I could rant for ages about the bad reviews but to name a few. Firstly if your not British how can you say what its like as a british soldier in afghanistan, secondly the muppet who said it was more nam than stan and that hos mates had a great time in afghanistan well i ask you this , losing a mate infront of you, what is great about that? What a muppet. Clearly all the bad reviews are from people who have never served a day in the forces or they sat in an office all day and pretend to friends and family they were Rambo and The closest they probably ever got was call of duty or the cadets. 1 review even says that the sa80 is brilliant. Not so when this film was set. Nor was the soldiers equipment. I served 21 Years before a medical discharge 3 tours of Afghan, Bosnia, Kosovo and NI. For the low budget it was made on i found it good. A refreshing change from seeing some hollywood star looking pretty with a rifle that never jams and has everlasting rounds. The sound is pretty damn good. The acting pretty good and they do pass as soldiers., but give me this over Hollywood any day. The scenery is realistic and beautifully shot I think they done a great job and should get together for another. Oh and for the record a happy soldier is a moaning soldier. In all I say give this film a chance and don't listen to idiots who think call of duty is what war is about.

The only thing that the Americans got right in this show was David tennant being cast hence the 4 stars this is nowhere near to the standard that broadchurch was at, please stop these poor remakes. Seriously the Americans can make some amazing shows and they are very original so why do they have to try take off ours and ruin them?

This is sooooo bad seriously the Americans should seriously stick to theirs own shows as they really foul up on remaking British shows, this along with The Inbetweeners and shameless prove they can not pull it off, please stick to your own shows of which you are good at such as walking dead and breaking bad.

Seriously get hot pokers proceed to put them in your eyes spend a year in hospital and I hear you ask you will not get that year back we'll believe me I'd rather loose a year of my life than spend an episode watching this that year is well spent to avoid thirty minutes of sheer garbage

I opened this account because I am sick to death as a British man listening to our cousins over the water and down under slating our shows, Ray Winstone along with the rest of this British cast are on top form, our cousins across the pond and down under (not all) bad mouth our shows however when they try to take off our shows such as shameless, the inbetereners life on mars to name a few they fail miserably, they use British actors in their big shows so how can they have the nerve to slate anything of this caliber, and as for the aussies what has been your contribution in the last thirty years ? Neighbours and home and away need I say more? Ray Winstone is at the top of his game in this show as are the cast and crew in my eyes this is British to at it's near best. I'll apologise for my bad grammar as I am dislexic however I do not say sorry for my outburst. To any American or Aussie ready to knock this show and any other show made here then I ask you to seriously think about your review before you post it
