Arvostelut (1)
A reality show that combines footage of the entire month of the hardest induction training “in the world" with documentary form, made up of recollections of former Legionnaires and an interesting, although concise history of the French Foreign Legion. The camera doesn’t just follow these talking heads and the group of volunteers during this training hell, but also loses itself in atmospheric desert panoramas. And the group is well-chosen and fits together, with the nice guy Bear “survive anywhere, eat anything" Grylls. The only negative side is the leap. The first two episodes cover the first three days in detail and then, all of a sudden, without warning or continuity it jumps two weeks, with the last two episodes being about the end of training. It would have been better if it had been two episodes longer and covered the whole period evenly.
