TV Series: Piece of Cake Comes to The Eastern Front

The Attackers – a nine part subtitled drama about life on a Soviet fighter squadron. Be assured that it has plenty of seams to be ripped open with regards to CGI, scene props, etc. But I enjoyed the glimpse into aspects of Soviet operation, including front-line female pilots, tactics, flying kit, and the political officer.

PS: Worth watching through your telly, if able to.

Following a 5 minute browse through (which was the maximum I could withstand, actually) of a few episodes, I see the same robust and unshakeable fidelity to historical authenticity as its forebear. Superb acting, believable characters and avoidance of preposterous stereotypes are all hugely in evidence. Astonishing, really.

Politruk to Colonel: “Well, if you don’t, I’ll tell Stalin!”

You just couldn’t make that up….

Thanks Trumper, I thought my link directed to episode 1. Working through an iPad, the links on the right of my screen all point to English sublitled versions. I was required to click at bottom of screen to activate subtitles. Alan, try activating subtitles first on a device if you are able, then linking the device to TV. I didn’t try to watch direct off the telly, but linked my iPad to it first.

Watching it on tv via apple tv, it doesn’t give subtitles.
Seems the only way to be able to view it with subtitles, is to watch it on the computer ?
Unless anyone knows better ?
