I really enjoyed the mixture of Arabic and English the characters were speaking. My Arabic is not great but I could follow a lot of what people were saying. The one mistake I spotted gave me a big grin on my face. The union flag on Frank Temple's desk in episode one is upside down. If you look at the side of the flag nearest the pole it has the narrow white band upper most. This normally denotes that the person flying the flag is in distress.

I enjoy movies like this where the characters are speaking their own language. For example i really like the German language version of Das Boot. However the historical blunders spoiled the movie for me. If the Geologist had been in possession of such detailed information of the mulberry harbour units he would have been "BIGOT" listed and would never have been allowed out of England to make the survey. Then the use of a C47 for dropping agents was not done. It would have been a Lancaster or other bomber converted to drop agents. The date of the mission means that invasion stripes would not have been on any aircraft. the order to paint invasion stripes did not go out until June 3rd. Apart from one squadron of Mustangs. If a silenced pistol had been needed a single shot Welrod would have been used not the automatic one that the character used in the movie. overall a good shoot em up for a rainy afternoon but spoiled by the inaccuracies.
