The overwhelmingly negative reaction to the show did not stop there as the comments kept on coming and coming with many criticising the music featured within the show.
One disappointed viewer wrote: “The music is throwing me at the moment.”
Another enraged fan penned: “This is so desperately trying to be cool. It’s like an awful early 2000’s movie.”
As another added: “Why would go to the trouble of proper vehicles etc and then add a totally inauthentic soundtrack, is Quentin Tarantino involved in the production.”
Show star Connor recently admitted that filming in the Sahara was not easy and presented itself with a number of challenges.
The actor said: “We did a lot of day for night stuff as well, which was the hardest because night-time in the [Sahara] desert is normally extremely cold, so we’d be wearing tonnes and tonnes of layers but we were shooting at midday in the heat.”
Connor went on to add: “And those were unbearably hot and your rifle’s getting heavier and heavier and heavier, take after take after take. That was a struggle.”
SAS Rogue Heroes continues at 9pm on BBC One and is available on BBC iPlayer.
