Patrulla de Alta Mar (2007-2011) Reviews

Rather enjoyed this. It's not "Master and Commander" or "Das Boot", but as seagoing adventures go it is quite enjoyable. It is set in Northern Australia's tropical border waters aboard a patrol boat guarding that border against illegal fishers, smugglers of various cargo, people smugglers and terrorists. And because the Australian Navy lent a few boats and crew, it is actually good in the props and terminology department (although it has been dumbed down in places: Do the RAN use left/right in place of port/starboard, for ex.?)
Like with all series, there are weak episodes and some very strong ones, and it's not necessarily those that involve the leading characters. Series 4 in particular has a number of dramatically very good stories. It was also the only one that did not have an overall story arc/theme.
