68 Whiskey

Hi Mr. D,

How are you? I found your email online and I am an Afghan from NM reaching to you about a show called 68 Whiskey. Are you involved in it?

There is a guy I am sure you know Fahim Fazli, he is acting in it but he is an uneducated man and I met him in New Mexico a few years ago. How come he is an Afghan adviser on this show? he can not read and write well and he doesn't speak Pashto.

He was screaming vulgar language in episode one of 68whiskey and I couldn't watch it with my family. We Afghans don't use vulgar language like that. Can you do something so the 68whiskey company knows about it? Can you help me and give me their contact information too? They should hire an educated and expert Afghan to help them with Afghan culture and language and not this uneducated guy.

Please read these reviews and an Afghan interpreter also wrote a review and I totally agree.

68 Whiskey is Based on the Israeli television series Charlie Golf One, and Bluestone 42 was a BBC television series ( bomb disposal ) 68W & B42 & CG1 are just meant to be funny not accurate I see a lot on all the shows that are wrong just let to go I am a 18 bravo and if I can let it go so can you and just in joy the show 68W is a fair show Bluestone 42 was great (3 season) Charlie Golf One was good to if you can get english sub titles (1 season 40 Ep)

I was eager to see the reviews here after watching the first episode and found that I was in agreement with the opinions expressed. However, I have a rule that I give a show at least 2 episodes before I give up on it. Now I have watched 3 episodes and I think it is getting better. The treatment of issues, like promising citizenship to immigrants who serve and then backing out on it, or the different cultures within mysterious other pseudo-military groups is addressed. I may stick with it as there does seem to be a better effort to show some worthy complexity in the plots.

I love this show. It is irreverent, funny, sweet and very much like a re-boot of MASH There is quite a lot of satire here and the writers poke fun at many issues, such as the private contractor soldiers who no one knows why they are there

I find all the hate in the reviews very much reflective of the right/left divide in the USA.

68 Whiskey has a wonderful cast and scripts with good stories and substance. It's not a shoot-em-up. It's a modern day, hour-long M*A*S*H set in Afghanistan, and then some, with perhaps a bit more drama and less broad comedy. I was pleasantly surprised to trip over this show. I hope it stays around for a while.
