Season 1 Review: Ultimately, Das Boot looks to be a wonderful find for fans of high-quality international television series with real ambition. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A spectacularly ambitious enterprise of unfailing power, rich in all the ways that matter in drama, in writing. Read full review

The Times Carol Midgley

Season 1 Review: It sustained the pace right from the traumatic opening scene when a U-boat was destroyed, the water filling the submarine and one man choosing to shoot himself rather than await a slow drowning. Grim but gripping. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Unlike the 1981 Das Boot, the TV version only spends about a third of any given episode following the crew of a submarine. And whenever it gets out of the boat, it doesn’t really feel much like Das Boot. Read full review

The Telegraph Jasper Rees

Season 1 Review: The USP of Das Boot 2.0 is that the underwater drama has to budge up to make room for landlubberly intrigue involving the resistance. On the plus side there’s Vicky Krieps, who was so ineffable in the film Phantom Thread, as Simone Strasser, a wartime translator from Alsace caught on the horns of a dilemma. ... Somehow it’s odd that she should be the best thing in a testosteroney drama about blowing up convoys. Read full review

Season 1 Review: On the evidence of this handsomely produced, surprisingly grisly and solemnly wacko show, though, the main benefit of opening up the story is gaining access to a whole new set of World War II clichés. Read full review

Pat Brown

Season 1 Review: The sense of cheapness and naked commercialism that pervades the series makes its explicit depiction of disturbing violence—a death by firing squad, the gang rape of a Jewish woman by German sailors—feel unearned and, particularly in the latter case, completely irresponsible.

Bilge. This remake started promisingly enough. If you are a fan of the original you will want to avoid this. If you want an authentic story you will want to avoid this. The mere fact you are bothering to read this means that you will want to avoid this. I had to give it a zero rating toBilge. This remake started promisingly enough. If you are a fan of the original you will want to avoid this. If you want an authentic story you will want to avoid this. The mere fact you are bothering to read this means that you will want to avoid this. I had to give it a zero rating to normalise the score somewhat. This remake does little service to anything.… Expand
