Heroes

Our Girl started promisingly enough: the story of working class teen who joins the Army to escape her father, boyfriend, job and everything her neighbourhood represents. The training aspect was interesting, as was the initial Afghanistan plot.

However, already the cracks were beginning to show: the story was not as gritty as you'd want and the military aspects were often implausible. Quite a lot of contrivances and predictable plot developments.

This was still reasonably entertaining though. What really let the series down was the Molly-Smurf-Captain James love triangle that turned a war drama into a soap opera. It further undermined the plausibility of the military aspect.

Overall the season was watchable but could have been a lot better.
