Weird usa flag patch (to smal) for a Bdu!?

Watched the last episode last night,superb.

Yea i saw it too last nite,great series! thats why i made a post fr it here! i hope we get a 2nd series!

I'll keep an eye out for it when it comes onto Netflix

Yes, the American flag on the 2 start General's jacket is totally incorrect. Man, I've got a dozen spares... I'd have sent them a couple for free if they had asked

Anyway, US flags were not typical for the 80s...

Great series, they only should improve the way they wear berets.
Pizza baker style.

Yeah, and I think the general's stars are two separate stars instead of a single piece. Not that anybody cares, just fun to point these things out!

Many years ago I read some rant about how unrealistic and shoddy Saving Private Ryan was because they had a couple of helmets with post war chinstraps. If I ever become "that guy" I want someone to shoot me and put me out of everybody's misery

I just thought it was a breath of fresh air here in the UK as the TV is God awfull,nothing but unknown z list celebrity reality, dance,cooking or crappy popstars type shows on every day.

The actor getting motivationally coached by the General was also in a German TV series, "Generation War" which was set in WW2 and based on 5 friends in Germany. He played a German Jew who ended up in the Polish resistance for a while. Good series.

That sums up American TV pretty well (for the most part). Long ago I used to think that the US exported these utterly crappy formats to other countries, but then I found out it is mostly the opposite with many of the "reality" shows coming from Europe and Japan. Now instead of weeping for my own country, I weep for the world

That said, the Internet and streaming services have made shows like this and "Generation War" available to people outside of their usual distribution zones fairly quickly and fairly easily. I'd say about 50% of all the TV and movies my wife and I watch are not made in the US. We're into season 2 of the Aussie show "Utopia" (Dreamland in US/UK) at the moment and that is some brilliant entertainment. Back in the olden days trying to watch something like "Allo Allo" required a) knowledge the show existed, b) knowledge of where to get it, and c) a hefty sum of money.
