Anyone watched it ? I don't know what I expected, but it does glamourise ISIS a bit too much I think.

no I dont think that it will make young men queue up to join. I thought it was very clear the International Brigade was indoctrinated and used as expendables.
I particularly liked the travails of the doctor
who might have done med school
but my god didnt learn from experience....
Chucked out of practice in the Hospital for a minor religious discretion- she is next scene up with the cough drops on the internet telling her sisters to roll up to the islamic paradise....
I am binge watching the first two episodes
and no one has turned around so far and wondered - my God what have I done to myself and my children !

I said to my brother - they were taking kids out there - didnt they realise what they were getting into ?
and HE said - someone took her own kids out and a selection of someone else's !
The yazdi women were sold into slavery ( light worshippers )
and I thought some of the details well thought out - the bought wife would not go into a house before her owner. - I thought there was too much light in Raqqa - a blackout since they were being bombed to obliviion I thought would be in force...
we are now down to half the complement

agree chilldo....
very differing reviews in the media
half the characters are still alive - so there could be a sequel - but Jalal looks pretty stuck - could be freed by a random drone strike tho'
and the doctor - jesus didnt know they could take her kid away from her permanently ( he could be adopted - finish, end of) so pretty well obviously is gonna co operate.
[ The young kids who went with Alan Henning ( liverpool cabbie) who was decapitated - were so shocked they voluntarily cooperated with the authorities and arm twisting was NOT reqd.]

I understood about 90% of the dialog -
acky - instead of sir
and ukhti instead of ma'am is quite a jump
and at one point she says - "no thats not right" and I thought blimey the big fella is not gonna like that ( he didnt )
and what they are saying is different in tone to the subtitles
didnt make me want to go and join up or even say to young people this is the career for you - and yeah I agree they all get nice houses to live in which seem to maintain themselves ....
( same thing happens in Donald Pleasance's film on Janusz Korschach - the Polish dialogue is different [much more anti-semitic] than the subtitles - which are much more 'why are they being such a bugga to him?")
bereft tonight - just crip about GCSE's and BRexit and nuclear war
