Anyone else watch the BBC's SAS: Rogue Heroes miniseries? It is a "mostly true" account of the British SAS's formation in North Africa during WW2. Stars Alfie Allen among others.
I'm only halfway through it myself. I've been enjoying it. A bit irreverant. Lots of AC/DC, which might seem a bit incongruous, but I think it works. Not afraid to shy away from the gruesomeness of war.
It does have a bit of a slow start, though.
They have invented a fictional character for Sofia Boutella (Star Trek Beyond's Jaylah), an Algerian woman working for French intelligence. She seemed like an interesting character at first, but then they went and ruined it by having her fall in love with Stirling. Ugh. That was not necessary.
Historians are also saying the portrayal of Paddy Mayne is inaccurate. He wasn't a brutish thug like he is portrayed as being in the series.
Anyway, here's the trailer for those of you who might be interested:
