Das Boot

I have no idea why so many bad reviews. It's not like the original, so what . The cast, the settings and attention to detail is top notch. Good story lines far better than most programs available. Yes I like it .

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.

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

If you are able to watch this show without comparing it to the legendary movie, you should have a real good time. The show is more than well done. The actors are great and I cannot wait for season 2. It doesn't deserve the low star ratings at all.
