User blog:Gracetd/Our Girl Review

This show, although it doesn't accurately depict army life is very entertaining, despite changing it's main character focus after the first season it has managed to entice viewers due to it being very entertaining and thrilling. The constant action and also the implementation of drama and romance create the perfect real life drama which is Our Girl. Although it was slightly difficult to adjust to the changing of the main character, it was a good adjustment and I can see why they chose her character to help move the series on, as her character has the right mix of romance, heartbreak and action that I know I love and I'm sure others do too. Obviously I'm aware this show will not be for everyone, but I would have to recommend it to anyone who loves the mixture of a little romance and a lot of action, but that doesn't drag along and has some sort of purpose. As well a show that doesn't drag a character's story line on longer than it has to just to keep the character in the show. Although some people may think it is repetitive, and I thought it would be when I first heard about it I have to say that it isn't at all, I thought it would be very similar to other army dramas in the sense that it would portray fighting in wars and bombs constantly going off, and this show has that too, but because each season shows them on a different tour, some humanitarian some rescue and some fight, it means that it isn't always the same and you can't predict what is going to happen next and you are genuinely at the edge of your seat, because no characters life important or just in the background is ever promised. This makes you actually worry and want to watch on to find out if the character survives or not, because you actually aren't sure, this I find most great about watching the show, you are never bored, ever.

I would highly recommend this show to anyone, you are able to access it on BBC Iplayer.
