'Das Boot.' New series on Sky.
When the original series Das Boot was released decades ago it was an instant hit. The series was actually edited and put on general cinema release it was so good. It showed the grim reality of submarine warfare warts an all. I've sailed and worked with a number of ex-submariners who all said it was the best submarine drama ever made.
Sadly series two a few years back was a true disappointment, as is this one. They both suffered from the same malady:
It's supposed to be about a f****** submarine, not wheeling and dealing in Berlin or espionage in Lisbon.
