BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

mjbeswick812 I really enjoy this show and it's making me return to British dramas as in recent years I haven't found them anywhere near as good as American ones. Yeah, it may have some unrealistic bits, but hey, its not real, get over it. On the whole I'm loving it and was devastated at the loss of a certain character. I really hope they'll be coming back for more series'.

colintoye If you watch coronation street, emmerdale and eastenders, then this should be about your level. Useless actors playing unrealistic characters acting out unbelievable plots. This epitomises the BBC these days. God knows what kind of people are running the BBC, but I have an idea.

Andrew Massard This review does contain spoilers. As a member of a western military, there are a few things about this that does make me cringe. It is not the worst series I have seen and there are periods where the plot, characters, scenery, and action are quite good. 1. There is no way a Corporal would stand for back chat from a recruit. 2. There is no way they would be allowed their mobile phones by their bed during recruit training. 3. If I was the platoon commander I would have ditched her half way through episode two as she is a liability. Never do you just wander off on a patrol. Never do you allow local civilians to walk straight up to you, regardless of age. 4. Not one of them has any form of eye protection. As a veteran of Afghanistan you are issued with ballistic glasses with changeable lenses. Tinted for day, clear or yellow for night. Every time you step outside the wire, they are on. This does not include the ballistic goggles on your helmet. 5. The closest distance any reasonable soldier would be to a suicide vest is 100 to 200 meters. There is a cordon and everyone inside is evacuated. As for the lovers tiff in front of an IED, that's something else.
