This is one of the most brilliant series I have seen in a long time.
Many people agree with me, but if you're one of those who have a hard time finishing it, because I had, then keep watching. I enjoyed the first two episodes immensely, but then it slowed down a bit, I had a hard time getting through 4 and 5. I dropped it, because I didn't see the bigger picture, and where this is leading. I also had no idea that they planned to do a 2nd season. Months later, I came back and started watching s2 which had not a single dull moment.
Everything comes together brilliantly, so I rewatched s1, and now I fully understand how smart and well thought-out this series is.
Well, just saying. Don't give up!
What makes this so brilliant? I keep it short: great acting, good plot, heavy issues that are talked about in a very touching and intriguing way, action, good music, suspense, and LOTS OF EMOTIONS!
I have nothing bad to say about this series. I'm not even interested in the army, but this is such an important and interesting story. Everyone should see it.
