No Man's Land

I watched the entire series in one go...the writer of the series Amit Cohen is amazing again, he has created an amazing backdrop of war torn Syria, the pain Kurd were going while ISIS were in power. Everyone must watch to understand the real pain Kurd have through.

Acting wise all the actors have made their presence so well.

It's just gone 5am because I ended up binge watching all 8 episodes.

Listen to the raving reviews, not mine because I'm knackered lol But this is is a must watch!

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)

Well acted, good storyline, with a cast that you love and hate at times. Binge watched! Roll on season two.

Another terrific French series in the genre of the fantastic The Bureau, this well crafted saga set in the Middle East captures the complexity of Syria in the context of the competing agendas and alliances. Compelling acting, especially from the women who join the Kurdish fighters battling ISIS. Season 2?
