Anyone else watching this? Quite enjoyable, and clearly from the Line of Duty stable, I generally don't trust a single character in it. |  |

Watched the first episode last night, very good so far. Might get round to part 2 tonight. |  |

Yes, but I have to park the realism in the bullocks bay.
So much of the submarine mock-up and terminology/turn-of-phrases are so poor but then again the general public won’t know anyway. [Post edited 13 Sep 2021 18:41]

We all know it isn’t real, but it isn’t very realistic either.
Two examples:
The operations room is like a cathedral
The control equipment/room for the nuclear propulsion is two small LCD screens stuck in a corner of the missile silo area. | |

Not yet, I prefer to binge in one go.
Strange coincide, that the company that made LoD was owned by our old mate the ME group. |  |
| What is the use of knowing about everything else, when you do not yet know who you are. |

Enjoying it yes, but not fully - it's not top quality like LoD - it's too "busy" - there's way too much going on & too many U-turns (sorry) for it to be convincing. And once more the stupid "back-story" is irritating & just gets in the way.
What I enjoyed far more is a docu called 'Submarine' on C5 - part 1 just finished. Now that really was gripping, with a real-life fire next to the nuclear reactor on 'Trenchant' when she'd just located a Russian sub close to our Trident sub, which she'd been sent to support.
Along with fascinating detail, like 60 men sleeping in an area the size of a single garage, 'hot-bunking' (sharing bunk with a.n. other - 6 hrs each in & out, with scabies a thing along with (potentially) D & V (diarrhoea & vomiting) ... lovely!   |  |

We watched the first 3, maybe 4, minutes and then the mrs said "I'm not going to like this" and switched to another episode of Motherland (or some other mundane comedy) instead. She gets pretty stressed by her job and can't deal with any vaguely intense or serious dramas.
WandaVision is probably the most grown up TV we've managed together in the last year, and that was hardly intense.
Still, gives me more time to talk balls on here. |  |
