Land Girls

I expect better than this from a channel like the BBC. Where the first episode is not that bad, you will be overloaded with just about all the clichés you can think of afterwards. What is supposed to represent a story about how the people on the home front committed themselves during the war to do their bit, at times resembles "Dad's Army" or "Here come the shooters" like the popular series from the 60s. and 70 was called in Dutch, but unfortunately not as funny as the BBC classic. In addition, certain characters try so hard to empathize with their role that they simply become annoying, and therefore basically bring the entire series down in no time. Such as the constable who is in a time of war with the vigilante but thinks he is a general and thinks he has to act accordingly. Or the farmer who seems to be a cross between René from "Allo Allo" and Swiebertje but actually just seems laughable, although I don't think this was really the intention. Unfortunately, it gets worse every episode and at the end of the first season, the "Grand Finale" even manages to surpass all of the above when someone on the farm is fatally injured in a skirmish for a revolver. So, mortally wounded, although I had the idea that the cast and / or writers themselves thought differently because when the police arrived in the next scene you see the perpetrator being taken away, another officer interrogating a witness and in the meantime quietly taking some notes. makes, someone else who comes to have a look and so on. Apart from the woman with whom the victim has an affair, but who is only waiting to say her sentence without sticking out a leg, no one else cares about him. First aid ? They do not seem to have time for that at the police force and all the other people that are in the area. One season of five episodes is all I can handle, more would be unbearable. No, in my opinion this series is unworthy of the BBC as a historical drama.
