I was looking forward to this new series, being an avid war story fan. But what a disappointment.
There have been a number of very good mini TV series form the US over the past few years that have taken bold steps to try and show the rest of the world that the film industry can shake off this old Hollywood stereotypical view of America but this is not one of them. The characters in this first episode might as well have walked around for the first half hour waving the star spangled banner and eating apple pie because not one of them came across as being real. And the story is so predictable that I found myself searching the filming location on IMDb because it had lost my interest.
Needless to say I wont be watching the next episode.
