I enjoyed this series immensely. The story just of the Kurd women fighters is interesting and inspiring on its own, but the show also has a few different viewpoints and characters to make it truly engaging. There seems to be three different character focuses towards the start, and there is a convergence that I did not see coming. I had some predictions in my head, but I was wrong and where the story went was even better!
A few of the professional television critics wrote relatively lukewarm reviews of this new show, and I think they are way off and I didn't agree with a single one of their criticisms. One of the best complete first seasons of a new show I've seen in quite some time.
Even if you think you are not a fan of "war stories" and wouldn't be interested, I urge you to watch this. I'm truly hoping for a season two! The story of season one is somewhat told, yet there is so much more to tell, and we are left at a natural yet not annoying cliffhanger.
Phenomenal television: Season one "No Man's Land" 9.5/10
(I rounded to 10 for IMDb ratings)
