Reviews
“In Our Girl, (the main actress) Turner plays brilliantly, especially when she's wonderfully undisciplined at the beginning. But the story, which has been told too often, does not save them either. "
“What begins like a social drama at first turns into a kind of“ embedded soap opera ”about the deployment in the Hindu Kush from the second of the seven episodes (...). Politics is largely left out and the mission itself is never seriously questioned. Although the whole thing looks more earthy than many US role models thanks to the leading actress Lacy Turner, the series itself remains very ambivalent. "
