Enlisted

I absolutely love this show and my husband is in Rear D in the Army for now. So many times watching this we got to laugh at all their job requirements that my husband wished were actually that fun. I've also seen soldiers reflecting each and every character in the show. Its a comedy and I treated it like any other comedy show just waiting for a chance to laugh. Fox canceled this show even though it received high ratings I say hey fox bring it back. These men need a good laugh at the end of a long day. A few of the episodes even had me in tears reminiscing emotions about deployment. Never was a fan of military shows like "Army wives" which I found offending and ridiculous but this never claimed accuracy as their forte but instead embraced the fact it was developed by civilians. They even ran a contest to ask viewers what they missed. Definitely worth the watch.

I generally detest sit-coms, even supposedly brilliant ones. I don't even what possessed me to even watch the pilot ep but I'm glad I did as I watched the next three eps back-to-back, laughing out loud at the numerous quick-witted throw-away comments that never come across as contrived. There are large, obvious, in-your-face gags that I don't find particularly amusing but for the most part they work to progress the plot line. The best way I can describe it in terms of humor is to compare it to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which it has nothing whatsoever to do with in terms of plot, but the rhythm is similar: If you like the glaring attempts at humor at the "special reports" then you will find that aspect in Enlisted. As for me, those skits run a bit too long so I welcome the brevity of that style in Enlisted, since I prefer the sarcastic one- liners that whiz by so fast you can easily miss them. The best part, aside from some great talent, is the lack of laugh track.

First, I've been in the Army for 18 years. This show truly is awesome. I can find the same personalities from the characters in multiple Soldiers I've met, supervised, and been over the years. The over zealous, always amped troop; the guy filled with potential but barely does the minimum; the hoah guy who is better than everyone else etc.

I read a lot of reviews that said what I was thinking initially until I found out that all of the errors in the first episode were intentional and that a contest had been advertised prior to the air date that invited people to find the ar 670-1 errors. Even Geoff Stults apologizing because he knew how wrong the violations were. He knew this because he and the other cast members went to a miniature basic training and hung out with Soldiers about to deploy who were going through an IES defeat lane.

Bottom line, I know the cast and writers are doing their best to represent the Army while at the same time producing a comedy. After all it's a COMEDY and a good one at that.

Let me start off saying that I know next to nothing about the US military so Im purely looking at this from an enjoyment factor. i started this show having no idea really what it was about (or even that it was a comedy) but I found it really fun. it feels like it could verge on being stupid but I haven't found that yet. I love the relationship between the brothers, it's both sweet and cheeky and there's a lot of love there. I also like how they do cover real issues such as how soldiers can feel returning from a war zone. This issue was treated with respect which I approved of. Overall I love it and will definitely keep watching

This show has made my entire life. I was at Ft. Knox when it was cancelled. Sooooooooo.... disappointing. They took it off the air for more of the same boring other shows. I am hoping there is a comeback season. I would actually pay money to see that. I do not usually LOL but when I do, Enlisted is on. The show is not in sync with Army regs, but really? Who cares. The show is a great comedy. If one is too uptight to see that... then have a little laughter in life by watching enlisted. The actors in the show are so great. Good character actors and true to their roles. There are actual army time situations that are light hearted and even some that are heart felt.
