Writer Steven Knight brings his A-game to this vividly realised and relentlessly enthralling account of the creation of the SAS. Read full review

Radio Times James Hibbs

It's Peaky Blinders in a new set of clothes, and while it is a worthy successor to that show, it has yet to reach that series's heights nor plumb the depths of its characters in quite the same way. But the dialogue is razor-sharp, the performances entertaining and the action well-staged. Read full review

It’s a (sort of) Peaky Blinders in the desert, and it works for me. Read full review

OK, so no one’s much bothered with character arcs – there’s a war on, after all – but as a romantic hymn to raw courage the whole bang-shoot is a riot. Read full review

Knight will have to go badly astray to not make something highly watchable out of such extraordinary source material. Happily, his heightened, left-field script is perfectly in sync with his subject. Read full review

I thoroughly enjoyed SAS: Rogue Heroes. It is funnier than Peaky Blinders, which dragged itself into the doldrums for its final series, though this still has plenty of its predecessor’s vim. It is a bracing way to spend a Sunday evening, and, to borrow the parlance of one of its leads, a lot of fun, old boy. Indeed. Read full review

For people raised on a diet of Call of Duty and sub-Tarantino knock-offs, SAS Rogue Heroes will feel like a breath of fresh air. For others, it will feel like an indulgent and messy rewriting of recent(ish) history, where each sequence has a 50:50 chance of hitting a bum note. This self-conscious melange of good and bad produces, unsurprisingly, a product of variegated quality. Read full review

I get the first episode is all set up, but it dragged on a bit much. We get it, the SAS, even in its infancy, was full of badasses. I don't think we really need an entire episode of bravado to hammer that home. And I'm not a huge fan of too much exposition, but some clarity around this pointI get the first episode is all set up, but it dragged on a bit much. We get it, the SAS, even in its infancy, was full of badasses. I don't think we really need an entire episode of bravado to hammer that home. And I'm not a huge fan of too much exposition, but some clarity around this point of time would have helped (a failed mission or the allies getting their asses kicked by the Germans would have established the frustration and need ,while adding some much needed action).

Outside of that and the inevitable and boring spy subplot to meet diversity quotas, the production VueScan and action are great. I can only hope.the action picks up.… Expand

I found the pace of the show to be a bit slow. The action seemed to take a long time to get going, and overall I was only moderately satisfied with the series. If you're looking for a fast-paced, action-packed show, this may not be the best choice.
