As an 80s kid, the original Too Gun was a "watch, rewind, repeat" necessity of my childhood. It inspired me to get into military aviation, as did a whole generation of members of our armed forces.

To say that this movie surpassed all that would be an understatement. It had just the right amount of nostalgia while keeping the characters moving forward and introducing us to a new generation of naval aviators without disrespecting the legacy characters. This movie has found a place of honor in my movie cabinet along with the 1986 classic. When I sit down and watch it, I get the same feeling that the original gave me as a kid.

I was 8 years old when the Chernobyl disaster occurred, I remember watching the news and the coverage of it; but I never fully comprehended how close humanity came to wiping ourselves out. It was not until much later in my life that I became fascinated by the disaster. This show is almost all exposition, it beats you over the head with the plot, but the dialog is so genius, the atmosphere is absolutely perfect. A higher standard for television could not be set, and if it could; this show would smash that expectation. My children are absolutely enthralled by the show are eagerly count down the days until we get a new episode. This will definitely be an addition to my home collection to be enjoyed for as long as we can.
