- Synopsis:
During the Autumn of 1942, in occupied France, U-612 is now ready for its maiden voyage, preparing to head into the increasingly brutal warfare with its young crewmen, including the new commander, Klaus Hoffmann (Rick Okon). As the 40 young men take on their first mission, they struggle with the cramped and claustrophobic conditions of life underwater. Their personalities are pushed to the limit as tensions rise and loyalties begin to shatter. Meanwhile, at the port of La Rochelle, the world of Simone Strasser (Vicky Krieps) spirals out of control as she is engulfed in a dangerous liaison and forbidden love, torn between her loyalty for Germany and the Resistance. In the process, she begins to question her entire belief process. Could everything she thought to be true, in fact be a lie? A story of choices and survival, "Das Boot" explores the emotional torment of life during World War Two, and the brutal reality of living within a senseless war. - Actors:

edge of the seat stuff!!! - Das Boot: Series 1 review by NR
I was apprehensive that the makers of this film series would not be able to recreate the drama of the original Das Boot film.
However,they have done serious credit to the original,while expanding upon it too.
The plot is divided between action at sea,and in port,with remarkably good performances from a largely unknown cast.
The gritty reality of life serving in a U.Boat is portrayed well,and the action set pieces are thrilling too.
Period and technical detail appears to be spot on and well researched,with the characters of the boats crew in particular being examined.
For anyone interested in events surrounding WW2,and perhaps the U.Boat phenomina in particular,this series is a must to view.
I look forward to the next series,which is already in production I hear.
