The reviews are pouring in for Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight's new ser💦ies – and so far, so 🀅good.

SAS Rogue Heroes is set in Cairo, Egypt, in 1941 and follows the formation of the UK's Special Air Service (the SAS), a unit that specializes in things like counter-terrorism, 𝔍hostage rescue, and covert reconnaissance.🐼 When an eccentric young officer (Adam Swindells) is hospitalized after a training exercise gone wrong, he uses the time to come up with a radical new plan and sets out to recruit the boldest and brightest soldiers. 

The six-part miniseries' cast also in♚cludes Sofia Boutella, Dominic West, Alfie Allen, and Jack O'🅰Connell.

We've rounded up what the critics are saying about SAS Rogue Heroe🍃s to give you an idea of what to expect – and don't worry, everything we've included below is spoiler-free.

– 4/5

"This show about the formation of the SAS – from the brains behind the Shelbys, Steven Knight – is big, brash, witty and packed with energy. It’s Khaki Blinders, if you will...It is funnier than Peaky Blinders, which dragged itself into the doldrums for its final series, though this still has plenty of its predecessor’s vim. It is a 🌌bracing way to spend a Sunday evening, and, to borrow the parlance of one of its leads, a lot of fun, old boy."

– 4/5

"Steven Knight has a riot with this bombastic wartime saga... The Peaky Blinders creator adapts Ben Macintღyre’s bestseller into a boys' own hoot which playfully buys into the re𓂃giment’s mythic status."

"As you’d expect from tꦏhe man who brought us Peaky Blinders, the programme was uproarious, a punchy, bucking colt of a true Second World War story that grabbed the viewer (well, this one, anyway) by the lapels from the outset... It’s a (sort of) Peaky Blinders in the desert, and it works for me."

– 4/5

"The series will undoubtedly further fuel our nostalgic nation’s propensity for turning the second world war into the stuff of legend. It might elicit eye-rolls for its use of brash gimmicks. But the show’s spirit of adventure proves hard to resist, and there have been few scenes on🌄 TV this year as jolting and immersive as the mission sequence which opens the third episode... Ultimately, SAS Rogue Heroes has the makings of another hit for Knight and the BBC."

– 5/5

"It’s rare for a new TV drama to come roaring out of the blocks like a fully-formed beast, but there’s a swagger about SAS Rogue Heroes&n🐻bsp;that’s hard to resist... Even if war dramas aren’t 📖your normal kit bag, give it a go."

– 3/5

"A BBC thriller that’s like a naff version of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Inglourious Basterds...This is sꦗomething of a prestige drama – albeit one imbued with ✤a streak of deep tackiness that befits its title."

"SAS Rogue⛦ He𒉰roes feels authentic and sensitively portrayed but with moments of comedy and modernisation. It’s an engaging story, shaped through a brilliant cast and all-out action, that captures the fearless moments of the SAS soldiers as they moved forward with reckless abandon."

– 4/5

"It's a fizzy, stylish wartime drama with ent♚husiasm to spar🌄e, as well as a clear love for the story being told. It’s propulsive and addictive, rather like jumping out of a plane probably is, if you happen to be mad enough."

- 4/5

"Anyone expecting SAS Rogue Heroes to be a revolutionary exercise or an investigative character study should adjust their expectations accordingly. This is an old-fashioned story told with punky, modern set-dressings. It’s Peaky Blinders in a new set of clothes … B𒐪ut the dialogueꩲ is razor-sharp, the performances entertaining and the action well-staged. It’s exactly what Sunday nights have been missing and is sure to leave fans crying out for more."

SAS Rogue Heroes is simultaneously airing on BBC One at 9 pm BST beginning Oc✃t✱ober 30 and streaming on BBC iPlayer.
