"Das Boot is set in December 1942. We meet the very experienced U-boat ace Johannes von Reinhartz (Clemens Schick) who is sent with U-822 on a secret mission to the US East Coast in order to disembark three saboteurs. His loyalty is questioned and U-612, with its Commanding Officer Wrangel (Stefan Konarske), is sent in pursuit. Former U-612 Commanding Officer Hoffmann (Rick Okon) narrowly escaped death in the Atlantic Ocean. In New York he finds shelter with Sam Greenwood (Vincent Kartheiser), who owes his life to Hoffmann, and meets the sleazy German-born lawyer Berger (Thomas Kretschmann). Will he enable him to return to Germany? Back in La Rochelle, Simone (Vicky Krieps) is still secretly helping those affected by the Nazi occupation, and Forster (Tom Wlaschiha), Head of the Gestapo, suspects as much, as Simone and her roommate Margot (Fleur Geffrier) work to secure an escape route for a Jewish family."

If you speak German, I'm sure the pilot would be pretty informative (wish there were English sub-titles)

No aubtitles???

I'd prefer English translations, since I tire of reading subtitles for such long times, and by doing that, I find I miss much of the action, making the movies where I have to do that far less enjoyable as well.

Did not know there was a Das Boot season 1

The blurb above makes it sound like drivel. A soap opera set in WWII.

Agree with Dn Jackson this sounds like A mash up of all the usual Hollywood tropes jammed into Das Boot to exploit the good name of the original.

The first season was terrible.

hated the 1st season won't watch the second . just look the original TV series much better. There the Boat ( Boot) is the main character. In the new one the Boot is just the setting.

I liked both the original one and the 1st new season.

I watched Season 1 and lost interest around episode 3.
Too much side-story and too much on the land and not at sea.

The original movie/mini-series was a classic and it should have been left alone.

Lame PC crap is what it looks like to me. Heaven forbid they should make something historically accurate.
