Our Girl

I really enjoyed series 1 of Our Girl. The Pilot was excellent and I was glad they did a series. Ok some of it was a little far fetched but the action was brilliant. I personally felt they made a mistake not keeping Molly (Lacey Turner). Series 2 and onwards is ok, just not as good.

So disappointed that the cast was change, especially the lead, Lacy Turner. I realize she had other commitments but when I was looking for a show to stream it was her personality that caught my attention. She was cute and witty and the actors that played her family were great too. Ugh not even going to watch it anymore... how sad it started out so good!

Great start to this series. Realistic (so far as I know) and really brings home to you more than just the difficulties of the situation. The soldiers are normal, ordinary guys learning their trade. They are highly efficient but show all the nerves, the horrors of the war, the humanity and frailties.

This is much more than just an action drama.

I thought it was really well thought out, scripted, produced, directed and acted. Maybe not for some of a delicate disposition in places but certainly absorbing throughout.

Beautifully chosen soundtrack used sparingly but effectively yet suitably understated. Particularly loved the use of Blue Angel by Antony and the Johnsons.

If the rest of the series continues at this standard this is going to become an increasingly popular drama.

This rating is for season 1 only. Do yourself a favor and don't watch any further than that. They replace the main character, Molly, in season 2 and proceed to totally spit in her face later on. As far as I'm concerned "Our Girl" only has one season.

Series 1, Very well produced, and acted. Somewhat realistic scripting, and more than just a gung-ho action series.

Series 2 and 3, Michelle Keegan for too wooden, and far too many cleches.

Undoes the good work of series 1
