Review of JAG

JAG (1995–2005)
1/10
Unproductive
22 July 2003
It's difficult to overlook this show's lack of originality and predilection for mishmash. Just a TV version of A Few Good Men with dragged out courtroom scenes and implausible action sequences for "variety". Super lawyers flying jets, parachuting into enemy territory, exchanging gunfire with opposing forces, and being fluent in ten languages? Good God! Far more ridiculous is that many of the episodes not only duplicate story lines of other films, but blatantly include their footage as well. One episode about the IRA ripped off numerous clips from In The Name of The Father. Another, where David Elliot is held prisoner in China, was taken smack out of Red Corner. I even recognized recycled segments from The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide during several submarine episodes. After these major flaws, it's barely worth mentioning the immature dialogue and amateurish special effects, but there you have it. One star out of four.
