Das Boot is ridiculous

This is a prestige German TV show, highly praised — and I’m sad to say, a bit preposterous.

I don’t want to get into details but mother of Pearl — talk about a show that strains credulity! Anyone here watched this yet? Am I alone in this or was this show — weirdly implausible?

Boosts, I loved it and it is widely praised. I think I last saw it a few years ago and it is as good as it was when it was first made.

What on earth don’t you like?

Oh, wait, I guess now you are referring to the TV series? I was referring to the 1981 movie.

Was the series also in German?

I watched it.

SPOILERS: Yes, the way the captain manages to get to New York after being dumped in a tiny boat in the middle of the Atlantic is ridiculous. Also, the fact Simone could easily kill Forster at the end but doesn’t (therefore leaving it open for a second series!) is inexplicable. He is the only Nazi who knows what she’s done!

I see that Vicky Krieps is in it. I haven't seen her in anything since Phantom Thread. She was great in that. But Hollywood wouldn't know what to do with her anyways.

Idiotic things:

Mutiny on a wwii German u boat

American in the French resistance

An Alsatian working in the highly sensitive U-boat arm (two of them actually!)

I’m sorry but this show is just too ridiculous. If it were American it would be heaped with scorn for being typical Hollywood nonsense.
