Good camera work and imprrssive stages of the process of training. I enjoyed the series from the start to the last minutes...
While i do think the show is overall well made. There are several facors why i really dislike it.
The operation of a non named hostile country uses all Russian names.
What they do is train to be part of special forces. The show states it are 15 normal citizens... I can assure you they are selected from a huge group of people.
As a survival series this is one of the better ones. However the narrative of the special forces using violent countries I dislike. I have no issue with Jan or any of the special forces but the issue is what they tell apart from the other goals.
They could have used other examples and than i probably would have rated it a 7.
Waes is good storyteller but the story needs some adjustments here and there.
