The power that this corporal medic seems to hold, is unbelievable.

AOG.it's fiction.

I thought the first series was a load of rubbish, so haven't bothered with this one. If it is as bad, then I agree with you.

Now there's a surprise, I thought that they were really up to their necks in muck and bullets.

Are we only allowed to comment on factual programmes?

I watched the Pilot and Series 1 but then my interest waned.

[ladybirder]

The last one I thought was good. This one is truly awful. The script is awful, and Michelle Keegan's acting is awful, her flawless make-up is a joke and those big painted eyebrows are ... well ....... they're a joke and awful;-). And I say that as one who likes her and wanted her to do well.

[Islay]

The pilot and season 1 was excellant and refreshing.
Season 2 was verging on the silly
Season 3 gave up after 7 minutes!

I'm afraid that these caterpillar eyebrows are all the rage and have been for a while. It's hard to understand that women think that they improve their appearance. as with all crazy fashion it will pass thank goodness!

[ummmm]

Do you think the trend to pluck them all out and then drawer a thin line back on was any better, Emmie?

If burdz were forced to go about the place lookin like Groucho Marx there would be vigils, help groups and all sorts for them.

Lets have some repeats of MASH, that was good.

[anotheoldgit]

I believe some of today's females choose to have tattooed eyebrows.

[Islay]

Yes some girls do choose to have tattooed eyebrows it is especially popular with those going through chemo treatment!

[Mamyalynne]

I can't say eyebrows have ever been the reason I stopped watching a programme, it's usually the storyline and acting that loses me.

[douglas9401]

Steady on AOG, looks like your observations are about to become ridiculing the seriously ill by the back door.

Cannot get to grips with the this series. I much preferred it when Lacey Turner was Our Girl.

[Samuraisan]

What a load of rubbish.

AOG - // The power that this corporal medic seems to hold, is unbelievable. //

Since you concede that this is a drama, and therefore not remotely bound by logic, rules, or simple human nature, what exactly is the point you are making?

/// Since you concede that this is a drama, and therefore not remotely bound by logic, rules, or simple human nature, what exactly is the point you are making? ///

A 'good drama', doesn't necessarily have to throw out logic, rules or simple human nature as you suggest.

The "point that I am making" is the fact that this one does, and that is the reason for me criticising this one.

AOG - // A 'good drama', doesn't necessarily have to throw out logic, rules or simple human nature as you suggest. //

I didn't suggest that - what I said was that drama is not bound to follow logic, rules etc. That is not the same as saying that drama is compelled to ignore those concepts, or 'throw them out' - which is why I did not say that they did.

// The "point that I am making" is the fact that this one does, and that is the reason for me criticizing this one. //

An absolutely fair point, and thank you for your additional clarification, I now understand your view.
