Netflix's latest Harlen Coben novel adaptation, Fool Me Once, has angered some military viewers over what they say are inaccuracies in the portrayal of the Armed Forces.
Viewers took to social media to criticise details such as the uniforms, the actors' handling of assault rifles, their unshaven appearance, and the inaccurate wearing of berets.

Some members of the military community believe the costume department has put either a King's Royal Hussars or post-1990 Polish Eagle cap badge on a Royal Military Police beret.

One viewer commented: "Over the wrong eye, unshaped. What on earth has gone on?"



The beret causing the scandal is worn by the character Shane Tessier, portrayed by Emmett J Scanlan of Kin and Peaky Blinders fame, described by Netflix as Maya's former platoon mate who serves in the military police. He is seen wearing a badly shaped beret that doesn't fit correctly over the wrong eye leaving him looking "unmilitary and ridiculous", according to a user on X.
