When low-ranking soldier Gabriel Ferraud (Louis Peres) is gravely wounded in the early days of the First World War, he finds himself recruited into a top secret French military program designed to create Les Sentinelles, a unit of ‘enhanced humans.’ Injected with a mysterious super soldier serum, Gabriel finds himself in possession of extraordinary strength, speed and resilience and is quickly dispatched to join others like him on the brutal front lines of the war. However, as things get bloodier and fellow troops die in their millions, Gabriel begins to unravel secrets that could change the course of the conflict.
Meanwhile, Gabriel’s wife Irène (Olivia Ross), has been told her husband was killed in action. Refusing to believe it, she begins her own investigation, soon finding herself deep within the seedy wartime Parisian underbelly.Based on Xavier Dorison and Enrique Breccia’s graphic novel of the same name, ‘The Sentinels’ is an action-packed and often harrowing sci-fi take on one history’s deadliest conflicts, with echoes of “RoboCop” and Marvel churned up with some gnarly steampunk vibes. With shades of “Frankenstein,” the show explores what it means to be human, and the power of taking the life of another during a time of conflict.Both slow-burn mystery and action packed drama, the show is a unique take on a number of well-trodden genres. Read on to find out how to watch "The Sentinels" online and from anywhere.
