I saw one of the movies years ago, could not tell you which one, but do not consider myself a fan of the series. Since then I have been hesitant to watch any of the movies as I kind of asumed that they where doing the same thing that Hollywood does with Jane Austens Pride & Predjudice, aka just tell the same story every couple of years but with slight changes. As I have learned after finishing this show however, that is apparently not the case.

Which is a problem itself. This series suffers from MCUingitis aka you have to watch 6 different movies before you watch this show or you wont have any idea of whats going on. When the show does not give any indication that it is a sequel you can´t be suprised when people are confused the entire time. I do not want to have to watch multiple different movies to understand whats going on in a six episode show. Maybe if I had I would have understood why the main character had a full on breakdown after getting a letter from his mom. He had not even read it yet. That was not explained in the show.

The show itself was confusing but fine. There was way too many "main characters" ,if you can call them that, and none of them got enough screen time too have a well developed story. The only way I could tell which characters were important was the fact that they had these hideous light blue uniforms when the background characters had dark navy ones. And I had to google why the uniforms where different halfway through the show to find that out.

Overall the show was generally inoffensive but I also can´t say that I recommend it.
