Fighting Season

I don't know who your military adviser was but I hope you never paid them. Everything military in this series was incorrect, from the way they carried their weapons to how they wore their uniforms. Lanyards were worn on incorrect side, berets and slouch hats were worn incorrectly, hats and berets were not bashed correctly, medals were worn incorrectly and more importantly most actors worn them not in order of precedence. All those soldiers who were from teds platoon would have been wearing at least the NATO Medal with ISAF clasp, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Australian Active Service Medal with ICAT Clasp and the Infantry Combat Badge. Some of them in last episode wore only the Australian Defence Medal (For 4 years service) and the Infantry Combat Badge only. I am a veteran and I was appalled with the wearing of the medals plus the numerous other mistakes made by the Military adviser and the Director. I am sure I can speak for other veterans that these type of mistakes should never have happened. If you want to make a series or film about Australian campaigns then get it right the first time.

Great way to shine a light on all the casualties of war. Heavy in parts, confronting in parts. A few slow spots, but good overall.

This excellent mystery series shines a light on what our soldiers and their families face fighting overseas, and more importantly coming home. Totally gripping and heartbreaking in parts. Excellent acting from the leads and some newcomers I didn't know. Best series I have seen this year.

I won't lie to you I have no idea about the army, especially the Australian army, I don't know about their rules or anything related to them, but the drama and mystery in this show is enough to keep you watching and biting your fingernails, the whole 6 episodes, Jay Ryan's performance was MAGNIFICENT, so were Ewen Leslie and Kate Mulvany's, but in my opinion Jay was the best, I would have loved to say the same about the wives characters and little boys, but well, they're secondary characters and we can let them pass, if you have the chance to watch it, don't miss it, you won't be sorry.

Guess war can drive people crazy no matter what you have done in a war zone. Terror, guilt and trauma can deeply affect every solider. That's what the movie is about. The movie tells us how four soldiers deal with their lives after returning from Afghanistan. In the meanwhile, a video of the suspicious death of Edward brings everyone doubts each other. Edward's wife, Kim, decides to find out what really happened to her husband.

Lots of suspense, e.g. Why Izzy is feels so guilty about himself; why there are different explanations about Edward's death, what really happened to him, and etc. While we look into each character's inner world, we also get to know the story behind Edward Nordenfelt and how he spends his last moment in Afghanistan.
