We've watched loads of enthralling documentaries lately and this was the latest that we binged,(..quite easily, actually as there were only 4eps per season..),and, for me, what shone through was the caring nature of the Officers as they desperately tried to find the missing people,(..I've seen slightly disparaging reviews where people are saying it's staged or whatever but I never felt that but Im probably a bit naive, anyway....such thoughts never entered my mind..). The only slight niggle I had was, a couple of times the Officers seemed to jump the gun with some of the decisions they made, (..Cart before the Horse stylee..),but, for me, their humanity and empathy shone through and overode all my slight reservations. Being an empathetic person I could watch this stuff all night and I think these people and all the other boys and girls of the Emergency Services deserve the biggest of Thank You's from all of us. God Bless you All....

Ok...No Oscar threat this but if you want to leave your brain at the Door and watch a One-Man Army dispatch evil Ruskie's ,(..instead of Evil Germans as in the First fillem..), in a myriad of cartoonishly gory, violent ways, then this ladies and genitalmen is most definitely for you. The 'One Man Army' trope has been done to death, over the years,(..and I must have seen, and enjoyed most of 'em..), but this feels very fresh, to me and our hero feels real as do his motivations,(..if you are empathetic and know anything of what our ancestors and neighbours abroad went through in WW1 and WW2, you will know that what the Russian Main Baddie was boasting of was merely the tip of an very bloody iceberg and is so beyond the comprehension of, I would guess, most modern audiences that they would have Nightmares if they were presented with all the evidence that could be shown to them..), and we can only cheer for him as he unleashes his righteous fury on heaps of hapless Russian Conscripts,(..who, in reality were just as brutalised as everyone else, at the time, thanks to the Demon Stalin's NKVD(..forerunner of the KGB..), and laugh, a lot, at the glorious, ridiculous ness of it all...and yes, I laughed loads, more than any comedy film I can remember because, when all said and done, this mostly resembles, to me, an Ultra-violent 'Wily Coyote and Roadrunner' cartoon, albeit with ,(..mucho!!..), extra Blood and Guts...I loved it and am hoping for a Trilogy...but only if theres any 'Baddies' left.... Glorious!!!!.
