With the time constraint they some times leave out too many details but they manage a lot of plot twists that leave you very satisfied. I know there are issues about historical inaccuracies but I appreciate the tribute to our soldiers. The 4 guys work very well together. Troy is such a great leader - blends hard nose Sargent with compassion for his men and those they rescue. Realistic - things go wrong. They get hurt. Good guys go down. But good triumphs in the end. 2 seasons was not enough.

Magnificent tv series. Dynamic and action stories in the desert during World War II. The performance of its actors is magnificent. The image in bright colors is excellent. The Spanish language option is an added value to this second season of the series.

Nostalgia trip takes me back. Helps me cope with missing my Rat Patrol lunch box, and whatever happened to Christopher George? We miss you buddy. Too bad you guys didn't do more seasons, but filming most everything on location must have been a real bear. 2nd season seems a bit better refined than the 1st, but good binge material all the same.

Anyone familiar with this series shouldn't be disappointed with the 28 episodes from season two. There are hardly any that only envoke head shaking and rolling eyes. I think the series hit its stride in this season as the plots and characters seem more realistic and mature. The Germans can actually hit the broad side of a barn now as the Patrol's jeeps are occasionally seen doing flip flops after being hit by enemy fire. Also every member of the Rat Patrol gets shot at some point. The war seems to be taking a greater toll on the characters in this season. Troy's nicotine habit has noticably increased, Hitchcock's trademark smile is seldom seen, Moffitt gets treated more like the second string, Tully disappears for 4 episodes, and Dietrich's darker side emerges as we learn he is capable of killing one of his own comrades. Although requests were voiced, the powers-that-be still did not provide German translations in the subtitles, so unless you know someone who speaks the language, good luck figuring out what the bad guys are saying. My only disappointment with this DVD set is I know there will not be a season three to look forward to. One can only imagine what the series could have become if it had expanded into a one-hour format as was planned for the following season. But I am just happy to know I have a permanent reminder of childhood TV viewing days around the house now.Read full review
One fun TV show. Can put 98% of the trash on TV now to shame. They don't know how to make good fun TV shoes now. They would need to think. Can't do that now can we?
