That's a good observation. It's dumbed-down action stuff, aimed (I think) at a female viewer, and very soapy in its feel.

There only appear to be about 10 soldiers in total and they do every mission going. The special forces guys just aren't very special at all and the dialog is clunky and cliche-ridden.

Oh dear; it's back(or at least a trailer for it is being repeated in every break between programmes) and she's wearing even more panstick than she had on last time.

Very poor. Overly politically correct with obvious storylines.

Thought I'd give this a go for the first time. There was nothing else on and it's been around for a while so it can't be that bad, can it ??

It's the biggest pile of tosh I've seen on TV in years. It's cheep, cheep, cheep. The acting is dire, and the script is even worse.

I'd rather sit there and let the Mrs watch TOWIE on catch up.

Dreadful. A bunch of 6th formers studying media studies and drama could do a better job.

Just occasionally you get a programme that's so bad it's quite actually good. Unfortunately this isn't one of them

Strictly for the birds then?

To be fair, the trailer pretty much paints it as a chic-flick, soap-opera style military drama, so you can't really be too surprised that it is!

Yes it was unbelievably bad, The first series with Lacey Turner was good now that Michelle Keegan has taken over in the past 2 it is dire to be polite
