Amazed this has such a high rating. I managed about 20 minutes of this, loaded down as it is, with what I view as cynical propaganda for US military exceptionalism.

Suffice to say, I could find little to like. From the US military asserting its right to invade and occupy, other nations, through to the US poor being more or less, forced into military service, as an escape from domestic abuse and poverty. Pretty depressing stuff.

Acting is fine and clearly money has been spent, on the action scenes, military equipment and more.

In summary, a depressing series, that see's US exceptionalism, taking centre stage, once again.

My favorite actor is the wax doll that vaguely resembles a younger Nicole Kidman. It's amazing what they can do with animatronics these days. Even though they clearly have very little mechanics to mimic human facial expressions, at times, it almost appears human!

BTW, this rating is for season one. It's quite good. I just started season two, and I'm abandoning it before the end of episode one. It's utter trash, zero stars. Just watch season one and pretend the show was canceled after that. It basically canceled itself artistically with season two.
