Valor

Just finished the pilot (pun intended!). OK, no one is going to call this a great show, great pilot, or anything of the like.... HOWEVER, I found it relatively entertaining and full of action. I never served in the military, but it's obvious this show is full of inaccuracies. That is just not enough to dismiss a show. I have also never served as President of the USA, head cutter in a hospital, or chief of police in a big city.... and I still enjoyed many shows where reality is not the cornerstone. It's not supposed to be a Ken Burns documentary. TV by definition is not real (just watch FOX news!!). I watched this show after reading all the critical comments, and while it's not going to be at the top of my list, I will watch more episodes. DETAILS: The writing is not too bad, the acting is OK, camera work and cinematography are mediocre but nothing is so bad that I would turn it off. It's way better than it's current rating, and it does have some potential, and I do love a good military/spec ops show!

Like the show but there are a lot of mistakes in it when cutting from one camera to another and reuse of items and product placement. But again it was entertaining.

There are a lot of pitfalls this show could've had which were avoided. It did not go for the whole GI jayne route that it could've had, her being a woman comes up but they haven't made the whole about it. People have complained that it's not realistic for the army and I say that's definitely a good thing. Rules, routine and repetition don't make good TV and outside of combat that's what military life involves. There's some complaints about the main character being eye-candy, so what? Most of the male cast were clearly hired out as eye-candy and I see no complaints about that

Really? This guy wears a beard like he's in a Special Forces unit? Also, why would he wear it in garrison., stateside?

Her ponytail, tights as uniform pants? Yeah, okay. Whatever Hollywood decides I suppose.

Next time get better military advisers.

This feels very Soap Opera like,think "Quanico",yea.. As a lot of others said,its funny how many unrealistic mistakes you can make,shame. In that sense "The brave" is much better even though it has the same soap opera vibe. However,Madani as a "strong" female (not so great attempt but they are trying and you can tell)is better to watch then on the brave. Im still watching,up to episode 7. Yea its bad but there's a story so for now if im real bored.. Seal is the only non disappointing one so far.
