I really wanted to enjoy this show but I couldn't get past the uninteresting cinematography, editing and unconvincing acting. It almost felt lazy, like it was too much effort to set up and film more shots for each scene.
I really did not feel like the cast were in any danger in the battle scenes. I can imagine that the real soldiers would have been constantly wondering if they would be the next to take a shot every time a gun fired - I didn't feel any of that at all. I wanted to be on the edge of my seat and to only have a break from the intensity during the flash backs. Maybe my expectations were too high.
I also couldn't not see playschool every time I saw the mum.
Hopefully the future episodes will be better, buts it's a shame that the first episode didn't give me much to look forward to.
