I was apprehensive that the makers of this film series would not be able to recreate the drama of the original Das Boot film.
However,they have done serious credit to the original,while expanding upon it too.
The plot is divided between action at sea,and in port,with remarkably good performances from a largely unknown cast.
The gritty reality of life serving in a U.Boat is portrayed well,and the action set pieces are thrilling too.
Period and technical detail appears to be spot on and well researched,with the characters of the boats crew in particular being examined.
For anyone interested in events surrounding WW2,and perhaps the U.Boat phenomina in particular,this series is a must to view.
I look forward to the next series,which is already in production I hear.
