The blend of historical events and dramatic elements creates a compelling narrative, though some critics call for more historical accuracy. The modern soundtrack and dialogue, though controversial, are praised for enhancing the show's tone. Action sequences and production values are well-received, but character portrayals and historical adherence receive mixed opinions. Overall, 'Rogue Heroes' is a thrilling and visually impressive series that captures its subject matter's spirit.

The second series grates with. Jack O'Connells awful faux Irish accent. It's too focused on his character unlike Series 1 which was more rounded. After fifteen minutes he just tires you out with his drawl.
My grandpa was in L Section as it was known in WW2. He wasn't a swaggering cartoon character but the real deal. Quietly stoic and a gentleman.
As for cinematography it is very high quality with good continuity and authentic sets. The costumes are realistic although it was practically unheard of to see a woman in trousers in that period so I would criticise it on that.
Series 2 doesn't have the same energy as Series 1. More dialogue and less action...

What do you get when you mix Peaky Blinders with The Dirty Dozen? SAS Rogue Heroes!! Is it a serious take on the negativity of war? Absolutely not! It is a booze fuelled romp showing how the SAS came to be. If you want historical accuracy combined with a stern voiceover then please go and watch the accompanying documentary series on the BBC.
I loved it from the word go. Irreverent and funny with the storyline moving right along at a good pace. Perfect casting with plenty of familiar faces who fill out their roles wonderfully. The period details of uniforms and the locations look authentic and are just perfect. No skimping on the budget here! The effects are very good.
A wonderful tale of daring-do with the right amount of comedy thrown in to take the edge off of it.
Stick with it-you won't be disappointed. 👍
Season 2 Update: No idea what happened with this writing for season 2. They've turned Paddy Mayne into a gibberish spouting Irish psychopath with zero self control which is a million miles away from reality (he was in fact a quiet and softly spoken person with a ruthless streak a mile wide - quite different). The fun has been almost entirely sucked out of the show from season 1. It's a lot darker. Yes war is not supposed to be high jinx in the desert but the vibe here is totally different and much poorer for it!

Let's get one things straight, anyone with a decent level of WW2 knowledge will pick up on mistakes. Uniforms, weapons,kit,tanks,trucks and even the traits and likeness of the main characters. The BBC don't see to care much for accuracy anymore with their shows. However watch this as Band of Brothers meets Peaky Blinders and you're onto a winner. The characters are all played brilliantly if historically inaccurately. The way they interact with eachother is also very entertaining and has you rooting for this tag tag group from the off. The music in the backround has you tapping your toes as the SAS drive across the dessert on their way to pick a fight with the Axis forces. The gun fights while over the top are a good watch. Switch off and enjoy it for what it is. It's not a master piece like Band of brothers but let's face it what is...
Having watched all 6 episodes of this new series, I can confidently say each chapter continues to build upon the established foundations of its previous installment with a genuine energy & enthusiasm I can't help but appreciate; creator & executive producer Steven Knight partners with the brilliant director Tom Shankland & together, the two of them have taken a risk & approached this adaptation in refreshingly self aware way with their artistic representations of historical events which seem (for the most part) utterly absurd, so neither try & depict them as anything other than that.
In fact "SAS: Rogue Heroes" unapologetically embraces its quirkiness & revels in its own peculiarity, confronting the craziness of its protagonists (& the surreal circumstances they regularly find themselves in) head on, having the bravery to simply enjoy the silliness of its own premise & therefore, never feels the need to compensate by over explaining or complicating anything, trying too hard in order to sell the outlandish narrative to prospective audiences who are watching etc. Ultimately, you either believe it or you don't, it doesn't really care - as long as you're having fun. Any further research (for accuracy) can be done in your own time - but the launch is too busy reflecting the majority of its characters, defying orders & rebelling against conventionality, happily doing its own thing - in spite of what others may think of its creative choices.
Of course, I can comprehend that shift in tone & direction may be a shock for fans of Knight's previous hit "Peaky Blinders" (distinctively serious in its brooding melancholy) since they've grown accustomed to similar "vibes" consistently being present throughout other projects (helmed by the writer) like "Taboo" & his macabre retelling of "A Christmas Carol" (until it almost predictably became his brand) but this arguably seems like the antidote; an audacious divergence from what we'd typically expect from him, acting as a pleasing palette cleanser which is far less heavy & easy to digest. Of course, that's not to everyone's personal tastes (so nobody is obligated to be satisfied by this sudden differentiation), but I like it - & think others shall too. After such a massive cultural phenomenon, I'd additionally argue this thematically feels like the perfect follow-up to that high point in his career; chronicling an ensemble of young, underestimated, mismatched, rag-tag underdogs (descendants from legends) who wish to thrive, carving out a new legacy in their own space, stepping out from under their forebear's shadows, liberating themselves from what they perceive to be the stifling shackles of "normality" & solidifying a possible future whilst freeing each other of the burden of expectation from what came before, in the past. Quite fitting, considering the circumstances of its release, wouldn't you say? One could even surmise the message it conveys is deliberate - especially since tales of journeying in to the desert are often synonymous with finding one's self again, after grappling with loss of / identity.

I never heard of Rogue Heroes until recently. I was watching a different show when I came across the trailer to this. It looked good so I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did because it was terrific. I'm shocked they didn't promote this more because everyone who's seen it seems to love it. It currently has a 100% on RT and a 8.1 here. It tells the story of how David Stirling created the S. A. S. During World War II. I learned a lot about something I knew little about and I was fascinated throughout each episode. It has a great cast led by Jack O'Connell, Connor Swindells, Alfie Allen, Sofia Boutella and Dominic West. If you're looking for a quick series to binge then give this a try. You won't be disappointed.

- GaffesOn several depicted occasions, the soldiers are told to attack only after the moon has set. However, the moon is shown to be a full moon. A full moon is up all night - it rises when the sun sets, and sets when the sun rises. They should have filmed with something other than a full moon.
