Rogue Heroes - TV Series Review

The set design and background shown in the film are accurate representations of 1940s North Africa. War paraphernalia, including military uniforms and cars, and other elements correspond to the display’s subject matter and give viewers the feeling they’re watching history unfold.

Rogue Heroes uses clever and simple special effects to depict battles and simulations and realistic figures. By doing so, it excludes an excess of effects, which otherwise would prevent the series from showing real history in realistic perspective of warfare.

The editing is really tight and has a good rhythm, keeping the suspense under control. There is no unnecessary down time before moving from one action sequence to the next and vice versa, while the stakes are always rising for the characters. Rogue Heroes prose variation guarantees the necessary dynamism in the narrative which will engage the audience on both physical and emotional level.

Excitement and seriousness of war are in dialogues and thus it is told about memorable brotherhood of warriors.

Certain character arcs in this series could be a bit clichéd to veterans of the war genre television shows and movies, thus slightly taking away from the show’s uniqueness.

In the whole picture, Rogue Heroes provides the viewers with a rich and engrossing war drama that stays as close to history as possible. They manage to keep the actionfitness level in concert with the spirit of the movie’s emotional core, thus provoking the audience to actually feel the real attitude of the unheralded WWII warriors. It is uplifting yet saddening and the sort of series that makes war hungry individuals bleak in their natural essence.
