I dunno.
I watched the show with an eye for the liberal slant and didn’t see much of it at all.
The woman on the sub is portrayed as being green.
The Seals have alternate orders and are portrayed as dedicated.
The NATO post came across as laid back. I didn’t see the US military being portrayed as evil at all.
It’s not Tom Clancy quality, I’ll grant you that. But with only mild suspension of reality, there was a good story.
Just watched and I agree.
In fiction and drama, it is not a question of what is real, but of what the audience can be made to accept as real.
Unfortunately, from medical to crime to military drama, the technical truths are often stretched beyond reality. “House” is not real-to-life in the day to day processes extant in a hospital. People Lost in time and space don’t have perfect hair and make-up. 15 years after the lights go out, people do not have perfectly whitened teeth and precise haircuts. Anyone watching for the sake of learning technical truths is watching for the wrong reason. How often do we see car explosions in film that are ridiculous compared to how it really happens? As kidd says: if it was *real*, no one would watch. We watch to escape and to think in a different reality for a period of time.
Remember, at the start, the POTUS is in process of being impeached. Can no one imagine a scenario in which a rogue administration wags the dog w/a nuke or where SEALs have undisclosed orders or where there are factions w/in the military-political complex that are enacting private agendas?
The name of the fiction game is “What if....”. This series looks as though it has a chance of being memorable.
