I hope Netflix trailers are publically visible...
This is the best reality show I've seen in years. Unlike Victorian Turnip Inspectors or whatever boring farming crap they typically churn out, this one has participants doing interesting stuff with exploding rats and guns and exploding poop and stuff. But even more importantly, the show is primarily about the skills the SOE agents had and whether these modern participants are up to the challenge. That is, what it isn't about - and this is important - is people slagging each other off or petty bickering or the instructors yelling at people for no reason. Nope, in this show the instructors are actually supportive. Even when people leave or are removed, there's no sense of hard feelings. This is a reality show done right.
What's also really interesting to see is how apparently ordinary people have hidden depths. In particular, watch for the research scientist with the cold dead eyes of a killer who aces the physical tests. And the grandmother drama teacher who becomes a highly competent field agent. It's impressive stuff, well worth a watch.
