I have been watching British TV over the past couple of years and came across this series by fluke. In North America we do not have anywhere near some of the good British series available. Perhaps the NA plots will add more character in the future but today we watch a series centered on a plot and we know it will end in usually a good way. That is not to say there is not some good NA TV because there are some super series available. The Brits add more depth with character and less with the plot and inane action of killing a dozen people every show. Anyway my wife is Brit and she likes the British shows so I am along for the ride. And what a ride the show Our Girl offers. You should watch the prequel show to get set up properly. A girl from a neighborhood that places her in a dead end situation. Her family is not supportive of her wishes and she busts out on her own when she reaches 18 years of age. She dumps her male boyfriend who seemed positioned to dominate any female through actions and religion. Her lot is directed when she finds herself in front of a recruiting office. She is desperate not to follow her mother's demise of catering to a bum of a husband who looks to not work and scam welfare as means of living. The story follows with the TV series and it is based on her mission to Afghanistan and becoming a medic with responsibility she would never have had in England. I hope to catch the full series and love to watch this girl grow as a human. It is well done with a good script and acting. The production is first rate and my wife loves it. Fluke or not, the series deserves full merit and should be an aspiring film to young people. Jan. 2015: I was checking IMDb to see when series will resume. I did not see any continuous series for 2015. Hope they can write enough material to expand it. Great series and deserves a longer run.
