jtjhennessy Going into it knowing that TV (or movies for that matter) will never completely nail military realism, I really liked this show. Right from episode one, I was hooked. Unlike nearly anything in the genre, you can tell that the main actors were actually trained in weapons handling. Their drills - if a bit too stiff, robotic, and lacking in fluidity - were, for the most part, legit, practiced and understood. Moreover, I love that the good guys weren't always "good guys". Anyone who says that any mission can be accomplished by only good deeds is being willfully ignorant - full stop. What knocked my rating down was: 1.) The acting, characters, and overall effort on the "homefront" portion was consistently flat. What made it even worse was that it seemed as though the actors and actresses knew it and couldn't be bothered to put in the effort.2.) It absolutely oozes patriotism. It's an American show about American soldiers, I understand that. Some amount of patriotism should be expected and rightfully so! However there is no need to lay it on as thick as they did.3.) This show repeatedly pushes the religious beliefs of its creators - sometimes in hilariously ridiculous ways (see a previous review about the spear of destiny) and sometimes in offensive ways (the vilification of Kim Brown in "SERE" for being atheist, followed by her seeing the light at the end).4.) Pretty much everything about season 4. Why would you decide to adopt a season-long story arc four seasons in? If it ain't broke, don't fix it! It was like a low action, low story, low nudity version or Strike Back (which, by the way is a superior show in every way).
Yavor Ivanov At first the movie leaves a very good impression for something that is done very realistic.But imagine now that you are an US citizen, and you see that in one of the episodes, there are persons claiming to be Americans speaking in English, but they are speaking in Spanish.I felt rather disappointed, when in one of the episodes, there were actors claiming to be in Bulgarian prison, but speaking on Serbian instead of Bulgarian.In US everything is a big show, and this one is a lie. After that my impression for the movie was spoiled because in every episode for an action in different country I was wondering how many lies I will see.
raughammer I really enjoyed the show until the end of episode 20 when the writers introduced homosexuality into the show in a horrible manner. Completely demeaning our heros of WW2 and in the story demeaning the dead hero's wife. Of course it happened back then no one is saying it did'nt but why did the writers feel a need to rub our faces in it. Why go where every other show on TV has already gone. There is so much to offer the audience so why stoop to that level? Why go out of your way to alienate your audience.Why did they have to take it there? Ruined the show for me and the wife...
mike-1561 I think this is a great show. I don't know much about military procedures, so I can not comment on that. However, I can say that from my perspective, realistic or not, this show consistently captured my attention and keeps me involved throughout each show. I am not looking for shows that truly emulate real life, I am looking to escape into a story that can take me so far into it that I forget about the things going on in my life, and all the things I have to do...It is my much needed break from reality. If it is simulating real life, or totally embellishing it makes no difference to me, as long as they keep putting out good quality TV...On that point, does anyone know if this show is going to continue? Thanks.
