No Man's Land

Wow. One of the best series I have seen this year. Complex and thrilling. Acting is first rate all around and there few wasted moments through all 8 episodes. Every episode is strong start to finish. A fascinating and credible look at how ISIS operates and a thrilling spy story at the same time. Could not recommend it more highly.

All 8 episodes keep the pedal to the metal, with the intensity of the Syrian war conflict shown through various subplots of family conflict. Must watch. an easy binge. Bring on season

Well acted, good storyline, with a cast that you love and hate at times. Binge watched! Roll on season two.

I enjoyed this series immensely. The story just of the Kurd women fighters is interesting and inspiring on its own, but the show also has a few different viewpoints and characters to make it truly engaging. There seems to be three different character focuses towards the start, and there is a convergence that I did not see coming. I had some predictions in my head, but I was wrong and where the story went was even better!

A few of the professional television critics wrote relatively lukewarm reviews of this new show, and I think they are way off and I didn't agree with a single one of their criticisms. One of the best complete first seasons of a new show I've seen in quite some time.

Even if you think you are not a fan of "war stories" and wouldn't be interested, I urge you to watch this. I'm truly hoping for a season two! The story of season one is somewhat told, yet there is so much more to tell, and we are left at a natural yet not annoying cliffhanger.

Phenomenal television: Season one "No Man's Land" 9.5/10

(I rounded to 10 for IMDb ratings)

Outstanding middle east civil war thriller Great character back stories Bring on season 2
