The first series showed a lot of promise, the second developed the characters and relationships, this third, whilst creditably ambitious has proven to be a bridge too far with a veneer-thin plot with more holes than the most Swiss of cheese, and this dairy product reference is highly apt in this case. The writers must have taken a course in cliches as I am pretty sure that all bases were covered. The actors must have been using a combination of Eastenders and Neighbours as their role models, and I half expected Alf to appear and say "Now look here Commander, mate, or whatever yer name is". And this is a key point because it actually is highly comical and made me laugh out loud at several points - notably when the illegal immigrants were led out of the wilderness and all transpired to be fully qualified medics !!
The plot is so ludicrous I actually don't want to expound it and spoil your enjoyment, but suffice to say the siege of Barnard Castle was more effective than that mounted by the entire French authorities, Bringing in batty Boris as strategic consultant would have yielded more effective results than these bungling buffoons.
So if you want a good belly laugh this would be good to watch, but if you expecting to see quality foreign language drama don't engage with this tripe.
