Das Boot

Disregard all the haters that only want to see U-boat battles on screen, this show is much deeper than that. It has it's fair share of claustrophobic moments, and you really get the feel of what it would've been like to be a sailor on one of those. The acting is really good, and the story is interesting enough to keep you binge watching. It's also great everyone speaks their native tongue, German being the most prominently present of course. I highly recommend this show to either fans of (war) drama or people with an interest in history. 9/10

At all costs avoid the negative reviews of this series because what i have seen is worthwhile viewing.

This was never intended as a continuation the original Das Boot movie of 1981.

Its a new crew and boat set in 1942 so some 9 months after the movies timeline.

I found the two storylines, one on land and the other on the U boat worked.

They are tied in and merge at the end and both hold your interest and the point of difference made a more compelling experience.

The Uboat storylines had twists and turns and were well acted by a young but convincing cast.

The interior sub scenes were filmed in the same interior mockup used in U571 and the same level of authenticity comes across.

Please make a second series!

Just saw ep1 and its not that bad. should have another name, has nothing to do with the original from 1981.

I've got no problem with updates, re-interpretations or for that matter complete revisions of prior works and narratives. In my mind it is perfectly fine to take a Shakespeare play and tell it a completely different way.

That said this "sequel" to Das Boot is absolutely terrible. it is simply a strange soap opera.

The 2018 sequel of the monumental "Das Boot" from 1981 would be great if the makers hadn't made one big mistake. They shouldn't have made this two parallel plot thing between the story of the crew of the submarine and this useless resistance story. By telling 2 parallel stories they automatically killed whatever made the original "Das Boot" such a great success. Watching this great sequel unfortunately you will never get this claustrophobic feeling as in the original. Right when you get the right feeling, they throw you out of the atmosphere of the submarine and continue with the story of this resistant group. This is what prevents the show to be nearly as good as the original. By telling these 2 parallel stories, there is no time to introduce the crew of the submarine suficiantly or getting into more details about their characters.. What I really whish? A second season that only takes place on a submarine and a fan-edit of the first season that cuts out all of this resistance-plot. I would give this edit perhaps 10 stars.
