Our Girl 2014

This was the first time I watched something out of the trakt recommendation. Maybe I shouldn´t have.

The show hasn´t alot to do with the Army or the war in Afghanistan. The whole plot, the taglines are very misleading. The pilot promised something that the show didn´t deliver. This is really a love story, and not a very original one. It´s the old boy loves girl but girl loves other boy. Everything else is pretty much just a background for that. Which is kind of a shame ´cause it had promising moments. But as mentioned this whole romance stuff is killing it. And I won´t even go into detail how I think it´s a bit weird that you become a field medic after just going through basic and having no medical education.

So from where I stand this was dissapionting. Music was great, though.

In addition to my earlier comment I´d like to add that I obviously missed something in the plot.

Between the Pilot and the series is a one year period in which she took Combat Medical Training. At the end of the Pilot she went to Afghanistan, then in Episode 1 she is back in the UK and deployed again. This is a bit confusing.
