I'm watching Our Girl(2014-18)here and there , a BBC drama about girls in the British Army
(based on real events) . It's pacing isn't perfect (compared to similar American shows) but
the stories are involving with quite a bit of action . Here's a tribute video -

I watched this^ quite a while back when it was on TV here. I thought it was alright. It was good to see Lacey Turner in a role where she didn't annoy me, as I'd only previously seen her in two episodes of Being Human (UK version) and I really was not fond of her in that role. While her character in this^ show did start off as a bit annoying, I found she became more likable - at least to me, anyway. It was also nice to see Iwan Rheon in a role that was most un-Ramsay Bolton-like. I actually felt sorry for his character here by the end.

Only after typing the name of the show into IMDB (to remind myself of the actress's name) did I discover that...I've only seen the first season. I thought what I saw was the end of the show, but it turns out it's had a second and third season too. Dang. It's probably been on TV here and I've missed it. Oh well, now I know.

Lacey Turner is most well known for the EastEnders soap , I believe . Of course that's where her accent comes from ,
even though she was born and lived in North London . Funny you should mention Being Human , although I haven't seen it ,
my daughter a few years backed asked for the Being Human Series as a Christmas present , which I went and got for her .
Anyway back to Lacey Turner as Molly Dawes , starting to watch it I wasn't certain she was strong enough for the role ,
but it pans out well . I can see that the Producers and Director wanted someone who would appear vulnerable in that role .
Iwan Rheon was perfect as the heroic but tragic Private Dylan Smith , which was a very heartbreaking but true revelation .
What's to like about Our Girl is the well-rounded aspect to the show . We see the resonances in their team mates , their
families and amongst the locals . The background music for the Series is a great addition too .

Captain Charlie James is seen throughout the whole Series and I believe Molly Dawes may make an appearance again in Season 4 .
Season 2 picks up pace from Season 1 and follows another British female soldier on the frontline and in serious trouble again .
What I like about the Show is it's multi-racial approach , which follows not only the Brit/Coalition Forces but looks at the
local Forces and their lives as well .
