Commandos

I have watched all episodes, one per week.

The actors played their role realistically: no over-acting. The actors play their role as soldiers quite credible imo. Solders, ex-soldiers.. normal people, who have been on missions and now need to cope with PTSD.

The serie builds up slowly to a the climax. Without a spoiler alert, I do realise that this serie may show an exaggerated scenario for Dutch comparisons but that doesn't make the storyline impossible.

Some actors have been disappointing (wife of main character) and one of the soldiers (Mark) didn't match his role imo.

Its not one action or fast show but more one good slowly dramatic story. The actingwork is more than good and it was attractive to watch.

This drama series is one one to watch for sure. Very well played and realistic ex soldiers who went through a trauma in Nigeria that unravels itself in a very unexpected way. The many interesting storylines keep you engaged and guessing. Great fighting sequences and a very nice balance between raw action and compelling drama. I liked it very much.

In the era where you watch The Family Man like top class spy web series with crispness in almost every department, finding web series like this one makes you wonder how these people get so easy money to waste with such typical Bollywood mediocrity despite knowing that people would not like it.

Same India Pakistan story with utterly childish plot where some Covid like virus is being introduced in India by Pakistani general. Man come on. Those days are gone when we competed with Pakistan...today it is complex global network, and China is the major threat. This is where subject and script totally fail.

But worse is screen play and direction, ultra tacky and patchy performance.

I don't know what kind of intelligence these people carry, but we can't ignore that we are living in an era where OTT is ruling with contents like TVFs Sandeep Bhaiyya or Panchayat or The Family Man Made in Heaven Rocket Boys Scam.....so many good shows giving tough time to Bollywood...amid this all you find such gibberish jingoistic stuff!

It could have been great. Fine actors, good main story line. But it failed because it was too slow, bad choice of music, bad sound (spoken word often too soft), too many scenes without context, weak dialogues, no build up of characters and too many flash backs. Try the same story with the same actors in half the number of episodes and maybe it will work.
