About the series

Our Girl is a British military drama television series created and written by Tony Grounds, executive produced by John Yorke and Caroline Skinner. The first series was launched in 2015, and the current second installment premiered on September 7, 2016.

The first installment follows the deployment of Molly Dawes (Lacey Turner) as an army medic in the British Army to Afghanistan. Our Girl series 2 introduced a new protagonist, another medical officer – Lance Corporal Georgie Lane (Michelle Keegan) who is deployed to an East African refugee camp in Kenyan war zone near the Somalian border. The main cast for the current series includes Luke Pasqualino, Ben Aldridge, Anthony Oseyemi, Royce Pierreson, Sean Gilder and others. Audience reception has been mostly positive, with Michelle Keegan`s character beginning to settle in with the viewers. Some criticism has targeted stereotypical characters and situations, as well as the largely cliché dialogue.

The second chapter opened strong with 5.28 million viewers tuning in. The series airs internationally in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Germany, France and Belgium, and has earned positive reviews everywhere. Review aggregator scores support the overall reception – 8.1/10 on IMDb is certainly a good sign, and although there`s been no word on the series` future, the chances of a renewal seem fairly strong.
