Al R @InsufferableFrenchcritic Jul 8, 2026 Unfortunately a snoozefest. The show has so much potential for people into in history or naval. However, that is all ruined. Rather than fully focusing on the Uboat and its crew, they keep on switching viewpoints to a another character whos the sister of one of crew in the uboat, who's job is working in the naval office at french port and later became a spy for the French Resistance. Most of the time, 70% screen time is focus on her which is incredibly boring because not much is happening beside the spying, working and relationship. Why name the show after the greatest movie "das boot" and focus on the character that isnt on the uboat. The uboat story is by far the interesting part despite having little screen time.

Quite captivating and engaging. I did take a star off for such repetitive and consistent focus on smoking which grew tiresome pretty quickly. I get they smoked a lot in that era, but it really isn't needed in every opening scene, zooming in to ashtrays, people lighting cigarettes, standing there smoking. I think some directors think it's creative, or artistic, but it generally just screams "has been directors", or "want to be try hard"' directors. The majority of us don't smoke and feel no need to look at it all the time on shows like this. See more scott c @RT99083577 Aug 23, 2023 It had a lot of potential. I wish they stuck with just the Navy part and skipped the shoreside parts of the show. Way too much drama and too much betrayal. Were there really that many Sub Commanders willing to betray their own country in a time of war? Constant 2nd guessing of their Commanders? Doubt it. That made it unrealistic to me.

See more s p @S1337 Jul 14, 2022 Great acting, nice atmosphere, not too Manichean, but one plot arc ruins the immersion by being dropped on us quite randomly and the fact it has ramifications discredits the otherwise interesting season as a whole. A pity since the characters are well developed (apart from this forced lesbian arc). See more Jun 15, 2022 Very much enjoyed season 1 of this series. Will look forward to watching the next season.
