The Sentinels
"A different kind of war. A new breed of soldier."
Overview
1915, WWI. French Private Gabriel is presumed dead. Selected for a top-secret program, he’s given a serum that makes him stronger and faster. To see his family again, he must join the Sentinels, elite soldiers on a mission to end the war.
The Sentinels shifts the tone of the World War I drama by rooting its history in the visual language of comics. Where typical war stories focus on the weight of the trenches, this series introduces a speculative layer to the French front. The serum plotline transforms the tactical realities of 1915 into a test of physical limits, placing soldiers like Louis Peres in roles that demand as much agility as they do grit.
This push toward genre experimentation keeps the stakes personal rather than purely military. By framing the conflict through the lens of a covert operation, the show prioritizes the interior desperation of a soldier trying to return home over conventional battlefield heroics. The result is a grounded take on adventure that uses the backdrop of total war to explore how far individuals will alter themselves to escape a stalemate.
