The perfect series - from the cast and script to camera work and musical accompaniment. There is a measure of drama, a measure of humor, a measure of action - and all this is in perfect balance. In total, the project is sent immediately to favorites. The actors act out perfectly and flawlessly felt the characters. Some even opened up from a new perspective as talented artists. Bravo.
@Alena_d_: You could say that... look, so far the story here is clearly not over, even the 2nd season has been given. But in any case, you can't do without losses and a little tears in such a story.
Oh, I thought it was a mini-series and I wouldn't have to wait for the next season. But I liked everything so much that I am now waiting for the new season :) All the series look almost in the same breath, the dynamics practically do not sag.
initially, I expected something from the series of the level of "Brothers in Arms", but in the end it turned out a little different, while very good in the tone of the narration reminds me of a comic book in places, I don't know why, probably because all the successes of the squad are shown somehow very easily , the visual of the series is excellent, the soundtrack in places is just fire
@Neuner: They cut Paddy Main off when he became the commander of the SAS, which he remained until the end of the war (to one extent or another). He is quite a well-known personality in the UK. In fact, the series is about him, not about Stirling.
It's a great series. O'Connell is just a walking piece of adrenaline mixed with sex. He plays well. But his hero, Paddy Main, is a pity. There is an inaccuracy in the series - Paddy Main was from a rich Irish Protestant family, and not the son of a poor docker. I liked the cut-ins of the newsreel of that time. And for some reason I would like to hope that the letters quoted by the characters in the film are real.
Oh, how cool, I did not expect from the series) O'Connell is gorgeous as always, but I want to mention Connor Swindells, who did a great job playing David Sterling. "And blood will be shed," as Paddy Main said, but already in the new season, I look forward to Sterling's cunning plan, how he will escape from captivity in the first episodes)
@SilverTIger_7: The real Sterling made a bunch of escapes, but at the end of the war he was freed by the Americans. so you can't really wait for the character's return, otherwise it will be an extremely vague storyline.
a typical biopic, in the sense that dates, some events and names of real people remain from the real story, otherwise it is pure fiction. but quite cheerful.
oh, yes, those who want to see competent military professionals should not watch, in the series the Hollywood military are fighters against the army system and rebels. A huge number of real details of the context in which the SAS operated together with the British army are also omitted. and the history of the founding of the division is stripped to the edge, and has only some coincidence with reality.

if it was planned as a miniseries (the status is "finished"), then it feels like it was cut off in the middle.
