I know, I know...vanity!
I just heard about this show last night on O'Reilly. Steven Bochco promised a show with no politics that accurately covers what's going on in Iraq. The clips I've seen have looked great!
That makes two of us I guess...
Very little politics, well choreographed battle sequences, and no discussion of Zarqawi's psyche/ other "root causes" of terrorism - however, I do think the characters are a bit cliched (except I really liked Sgt. Scream).
Are you going to be more entertained by TV that is pro american with a fine smattering of Guns guts and glory or the limp wristed hollywood crap you see now.
"and everyone's got a nickname"
There was Dallas, from Phoenix; Cleveland - he was from Detroit; and Tex... well, I don't remember where Tex come from.
FX is on cable.
The training takes over and then they are amazed at how well they actually performed.
You're right. I meant the cable that costs even more, such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, etc.
This show wasn't even on broadcast television. It was on FX, on cable where the FCC hasn't quite slapped its Government-Mandated Totalitarian Black Bars of Censorship yet.
What's the difference?
