"Over There" review!

[medic99]

Holy garbage television. I thought that this show was suppose to be realistic. I really do not think that it is that good.

Anyone watching? What do you think?

[abncougar]

west coast, still got 2 hours before its on.


i was waiting for this thread to pop up though, ive been looking for it.

[Pook2]

Big let down for the most part, the IED and the email scenes were the only good parts. The music really killed it.

[usa320]

maybe i had too high of expectations, but i thought it sorta sucked.

There really wasnt much in the way of a story at all. It was just a 60 minute firefight, and a poorly rendered one at that. The legs was probably the most rediculous thing ive ever seen on TV.

[medic99]

I spoke a little to soon. The battle scene was a little "drama". But the last scene with the IED was pretty real. God I hate those MF's. But the scene's for the next few look pretty good.

[CG51]

It had its moments...fair I would say...not that impressed for the grand open though...


"hey Sgt, where do I go around here to take a ****?"

:lol:

[Rilence]

wow.....that was a BIG let down. i didn't think it would suck that bad. ugh i better stop now before i go on a rant... :|

[Bulkowski]

Agreed. Things I didn't like for the most part:
-M203 to the insugent leaving just legs
-"Brothers" watching out for "brothers"; so Vietnam...
-The women being part of the firefight, just ruined it for me
-"Dim" being so analytical about everything, like a bad copy of Eversman from BHD too much for me.
-Bo asking everyone why they are called "so and so". Atleast give a few episodes to develop the characters, don't say "Oh this is Angel, they call him that because he sang in choir"

I was suprised at how short it felt like, didn't seem like an hour. I will give them "props" for not censoring the language/graphic violence though. Also, the commercial for that new show "Starved" looks pretty good :)

[usa320]

i just love how they 203'd the one haji and blew his body clean off, yet his legs continued to take 3 or 4 more steps. WTF was that ****. having him fall into a pile of ashes like in the cartoons would have been more realistic.

:cantbeli:

[NewsMan]

I liked it. I don't see the problem with the women... there's been 37 KIA in Iraq. There's even been a woman who was awarded a Silver Star.

[medic99]

Never saw such clean uniforms in the field. Lots of firing and not a lot of reloading. Like every good war movie you have the cast of characters. The squared away Sgt., the angry minority, the college intellectual, the squad golden boy. Crap this list could go on. Like everyone has said, Big let down.

[Bulkowski]

i just love how they 203'd the one haji and blew his body clean off, yet his legs continued to take 3 or 4 more steps. WTF was that ****. having him fall into a pile of ashes like in the cartoons would have been more realistic.

:cantbeli:
Also, when they revisit the scene, there is no remnants of the rest of the body there, just the clean legs lying there with no tissue or fluids around... :roll:

[usa320]

I was suprised at how short it felt like, didn't seem like an hour.

Take away the commercials and the show ran about 35 minutes.

[Bulkowski]

I liked it. I don't see the problem with the women... there's been 37 KIA in Iraq. There's even been a woman who was awarded a Silver Star.Yeah, I don't have a problem with women serving in real life, but I don't want to watch a series with these two women who are going to be dragged out through the whole series now just so people can be PC.

[SeanAshi]

that sargent at the beginning is a trip. :lol:

[WolverineBlue]

Just saw it -- I thought it was pretty good, but then, there was a lot of cliches in it. Overall, I give a B.

[Sgt.Axeman1224]

Anyone notice that in the IED scene...the soldier who lifted the injured man's legs is or looks like the catcher from Sanlot.

As for realism, not that great but the guy with the legs it could happen so if you havent seen the **** that happens in combat I suggest u keep ur commets to urself unless uve been in the stuff.

All the beuacracy bout moving up a certain distance and waiting to engage, well thats dead on and anyone would know that cause the show is almost a complete rip off from a helmet cam on an American soldier...dont remeber where i saw it but it was on the military channel...they wait for an hour i think to get permission to engage one machine gun that had them pinned cause some REMF didnt want to look bad.

[Name Taken]

Well the show was entertaining but the plot had better improve. I'm talking about the "Oh I'm girl so I can't dig a foxhole, oops I just revealed our position by being a girl and shouting"

and

"I'm a football player, after all this I'm going to play ball in college" Hmm I wonder who's going to get the first bullet. :roll: It's like all the old war movies where the guy says "I'm going to buy a ranch and settle down where it's quiet" everytime that happens my Dad and I almost always say at the same time "Deeead." And then *big surprise* he's the one hit with the IED.

Yawn.


However, the guy getting hit with the fourty mike mike was out-freakin-standing.

[Bulkowski]

It's like all the old war movies where the guy says "I'm going to buy a ranch and settle down where it's quiet" everytime that happens my Dad and I almost always say at the same time "Deeead."
Hah, did you say that about Winters in BoB? ;)

[Jeremiah]

Big disapointment is it just me or is there to much over acting.

[HoboWithAK]

I found it funny how everyone could hear Sarn't SCREAM! over all the gunfire and explosions. The first mortar that hit five feet away from Bo or Dim should have killed and maimed, not thrown sand into the air like a haji ran up and shoveled sand on them in the hope of chafing them to death. Angel, Smoke, and a few others except SCREAM! and the ladies were constantly swapping weapons off scene. Otherwise, it was alright.

[ArmyRanger]

i liked the show.

what were yall expecting rambo 4

give a little slack it was just the pilot episode, and if u dont like it dont watch it. and like others have said, if u havent been there or fired an M203 into a running persons torso you should keep ur comments to yourself about the action.

[Pook2]

The next episode looks interesting, although the whole ruthless SF soldier thing looks stupid and extremely distateful to me.

[Name Taken]

Anyone notice that the SF guy is Bull from BoB?

[M1A2U2]

I thought it was pretty good. I dont think there was supposed to be much of a plot considering its a pilot and the main goal of the show is just to show what these men and women are expiriencing. What kind of plot can there be anyway? Its war not some police drama.

[bishop1]

Was it just me, but did SCREAM or whatever have the lamest sounding voice ever? It sounded so fake to me. And it also really annoyed me how every other word was god damn, it got old after the first 30 times.

[bishop1]

And you have seen what happens in combat? You type like a 15 year old.

[Blarney]

ehh....I liked it as a hollywood production, not as a depiction of the war in Iraq. Lots of stereotypes, lots of stuff. Did like looking at the Wiley X goggles and some other hot gear, but not a good show for a pilot. My local paper had an story on it. Military advisors didnt like its realism, but loved it as a hollywood production. and come on, m203 with legs still there, and some insurgents getting killed with a single bullet to the head....come on....

[Yeoman]

well I didn't set the bar too high on this show.
I was basically expecting something at the same standard as Tour Of Duty. I'll still watch it though.
Greg

[ßå$tĮТHÏ¿ð]

Watching fiction based on an on-going conflict is distastefull, its not a show for many people who are there. :roll:

[BadKarma26]

every ****ing character intro started with , "WHY DO THEY CALL YOU _____ (*generic nickname*) what a ****ty screenplay. I COULD WRITE BETTER THAN THAT

[BadKarma26]

I know ONE guy in my platoon that has a nickname. the rest are called by their last names. period.

[digrar]

The great Australian tradition of adding o, ey or es on to a last name. My first section had one bloke with a nickname and the rest were all shortened last names, Willo, Champs, Bucks, Gunny, Macca, Deegs and Codes.
I'm picturing Tour of Duty in the desert, which is a bit disapointing when you look at how far ahead quality shows have gone since then.

[Red]

I thought the show sucked.I switched to another channel after 20mins.

[jmatucd]

didn't quite hold up to the hype

Interesting how the hostiles started retreating, fell behind a earth / sand barrier with enough clearance to fire back at the army people and then the army people charge over flat land against hostiles in a superb position to kill them...

I don't know, it just doesn't make too much sense.. reminds me of watching film from WWI.

[Task Force 29]

Just horrible! If the insurgents and soldiers used the same battlefield tactics, in reality, as they did in this POS, the war would be over now...with both sides all dead. One other thing, did you notice that this thing had 20 minutes of commercials? That alone is worth changing the channel. Plus, all the same old black/racial issues left over from the Nam. Tired of it!

[TuNeRsHaRk]

anyone know what day and time it shows? im going back to the states monday and im already mad i missed the 1st episode but w.e

[pathfinder82]

Holy garbage television. I thought that this show was suppose to be realistic. I really do not think that it is that good.

Anyone watching? What do you think?


I told you guys the thing was going to be an overdramatic piece of crap.

Im glad I was working.

That shootout show on HC is pretty damn solid though.

[Silent 6]

I was disappointed too. The characters seemed stiff and uninteresting. Anyone notice that the M-4's seemed to be pointing up at a 45 degree angle when they were on the berm but "Angel" was getting head shots?

The "angry young black man" character w/ the SAW managed a headshot?

I did like the way the Captain (I guess, he was the senior officer) verbally bitch slapped the Al Jazeera reporter/translator at the end when they loaded the Haji into the armored vehicle, "that wasn't part of his surrender terms." "Right, but he didn't surrender, did he? He attacked causing the death of dozens of his men!"

I'm hoping that the overall writing gets much better or this is going to be one short "tour of duty!"

[XASA]

I missed it because I opted to watch a PBS special on WWII with newly found color footage, which, from reading the reviews posted here, was probably a much better use of my time.

Does anyone know if the first episode will be shown again?

[btdown]

Theres a torrent of it at mininova.org

[M1A2U2]

Tired of it!

No they werent left over from nam they were clearly showing how they were no longer an issue when the other black guy told him that he doesnt want to stick together just cuz they are black. I think it will take a few more episodes to really see the characters progress considering it was only like 40 minutes long. I did like the Seargent though.

[Aerosoul]

Could have been better, but I thought it was allright.

[ArmyRanger]

i missed like 20 mins of it, anyone know when the pilot will be shown again?

And you have seen what happens in combat? You type like a 15 year old.

who gives a ****e how I type, the point being that people are so judgemental (and i know i cant type worth a crap) and yet they have never stepped into a combat zone. They think they are experts just cause they have seen some videos.

btw no i havent seen combat yet, im fighting my parents right now to let me join the army but cause they are being complete asses; i have to wait until my 18th birthday.

[jizzmonkey]

complete and totally ridiculous......nothing I saw in that show even remotely resembles anything "over there". except for the FOB-dwellers crying like little bitches and never leaving the wire, but thinking that getting shot at on tower guard is "making contact" deserving a "close combat badge".

[XASA]

i missed like 20 mins of it, anyone know when the pilot will be shown again?

FX is airing it again Saturday, July 30th, at 10:00PM.

[usa320]

i missed like 20 mins of it, anyone know when the pilot will be shown again?.

You didnt miss 20 minutes of it. You missed five. The other fifteen minutes were advertisements.

[ArmyRanger]

regardless of how ****ty it was i was glad it gave some insight into some real life issues. for one the wife F**king another guy near the end. that happens alot more than you think.

[medic99]

regardless of how ****ty it was i was glad it gave some insight into some real life issues. for one the wife F**king another guy near the end. that happens alot more than you think.

I cant even count the number of times I saw that sh** happen. We did a rotation through NTC a few years back and our Company Co found out when we got home that his wife was fooling around with an enlisted guys wife and he was video taping it. Everyone knew who the guy was and as the story goes the joe showed the video around a little. My other buddy got a divorce only three weeks in country in Iraqi. We all wanted to kill that bi***. So that part about "over there" was realistic.

[Laworkerbee]

Could have been better, but I thought it was allright.

X2

I like the end a lot....touching

[Chuck6d]

That show sucks!

BTW my nickname is Chuck cause I don't give a F#%K!


btw no i havent seen combat yet, im fighting my parents right now to let me join the army but cause they are being complete asses; i have to wait until my 18th birthday.

When your ready.........come on down to see us.

[nerdman]

How about the female soldier wandering off ALONE during a pause in the firefight, to take a dump. And then the SGT conducts an accountability check of his squad and does nothing (or doesn't care) about her MIA status.

[Hadfield]

I missed it. I was drunk.

When will it be on again.

[demotivater]

Hollywood anti war crap. You missed nothing.

[Meph]

Seeing Steven Bochco's name attached to the show made my expectations high, but sadly this show was not what I expected. In fact, it's just plain bad. I thought Bochco would mean it's good, but I then remembered he also made "Cop Rock" & "Blind Justice"

I might give it another episode, but so far I am horribly disappointed.

[WARPIG]

If your a cop, bochco makes unrealistic hollywood bull****. It is entertaining and bits of the stories and characters have their moments of realism, but as a whole... too cliche. Same for this pilot. Nicknames, cliche home life, over exagerated firefights and unlikely scenarios and events. The storyline may be vague but I think the purpose is to follow the characters along the way. Different stories that we see and hear of from the war will make their way into the storyline. Remember BHD? As a whole, it is far from the real event.
I think as the hype wears off, the show will work out.

[Frank Discussion]

I cant even count the number of times I saw that sh** happen. We did a rotation through NTC a few years back

Same thing happened in my unit during Desert Shield/ Storm, they shipped us out a bundle of the post / division newspapers to keep us abreast of what was going on back at base. The cover photograph depicted a couple dancing at a Christmas party held at one of on-base clubs (Ft. Carson, The Raider's Den). The women shown in the photograph dancing it up was the wife of one of my tank commanders. He was, needless to say, quite furious. We found a way to get him to a landline so he could call back. Not really sure what the eventual outcome was though.

[oregongrunt]

What type of a unit were they?

[Bulkowski]

What type of a unit were they?
3rd ID?

[Aerosoul]

Yeah, 3rd ID.

[StukaJr]

Watching the torrent right now...

The only thing that comes to mind is... "Do I really need to know everybody's nickname and lifestory?" or what...

[oregongrunt]

Sorry, I should have been more specific, what was their MOS? I couldn't/didn't want to watch it.

[Aerosoul]

Watching the torrent right now...

The only thing that comes to mind is... "Do I really need to know everybody's nickname and lifestory?" or what...

They're just setting up the characters...

[Bulkowski]

Mmmm saw that Sgt. Scream guy on Law and Order: SVU :lol:

[JTAR7242]

The "angry young black man" character w/ the SAW managed a headshot?
No, he didn't. Angel killed him, it was shown, but he didn't say anything when Smoke decided to take credit for it.


This show was worthless, contrived crap.

[StukaJr]

Watching the torrent right now...

The only thing that comes to mind is... "Do I really need to know everybody's nickname and lifestory?" or what...

They're just setting up the characters...

Yeah, I know - but any good movie will make you feel the character through subliminal visuals and actions, bad movies narate like they are god damned books on tape! This one is the latter - unfortunately.

Must I beg for some character development?

[Aerosoul]

Yeah I agree. Trying a little hard to intro the cast.

[ASSASSIN]

Most of you bash the show, but i bet all of you will continue watching it, if only because shows like these are few and far between. Or just because you want to keep bashing the show on MP.net.

[ViktorNavorski]

Budget for a starting tv show is not that big, I get the feeling some of you are expecting every episode to be shot with the budget of a Hollywood movie. Though on one hand, it does not live up to the hype the show generated prior to its premier.

[Aerosoul]

Most of you bash the show, but i bet all of you will continue watching it, if only because shows like these are few and far between. Or just because you want to keep bashing the show on MP.net.

I thought about that earlier, too. Persnally I don't think it's really all that bad, besides there has only been one episode.

[MaynardCarion]

I enjoyed it. I didn't go into it expect an accurate portrayl of Iraq. It's a TV show. I was entertained by it.

[CFD Ambos]

Could watch it, was still in NYC !

Things I really liked :

-"We can't give him morphine, he has to sign for surgery" :cantbeli:

-"Even though ****ville doesn't exist, you are not allowed to tell your relatives where you are located, or your message will be deleted" :cantbeli:

-"You have to push forward for 25 meters and set up there, even though there's no cover at all" :cantbeli:

Pretty sure the producers didn't invent these situations, they're typical of the US Army's love for absurdity.

Of course I didn't report the speaches precisely, but all the guys who've seen it will know the scenes I refer to.

[sp2c]

just downloaded/watched it

I found it was entertaining, I don't see what all the bitching is about ... it's the Hollywood version of modern warfare, what were you expecting a documentary? Then again I had no knowledge of it before somebody brought it up here and I started downloading so it may just be crappy advertizing/marketing
it may not have the same high standarts as mp.net ( ;) ) but it was fun to watch imo, I only had 2 problems with it.

1. they should not try to elleborate on all characters in 1 episode because I allready forgot half the dialogue and I watched it 1 minute ago ... they should just pick one and design the episode around him/her with just a little bit on the others through interaction with the main guy/gal that way you get to know every one of them by the end of the season (like band of brothers did) this just sounds like a cheap way to get the characters explained so that the other episodes can center on the 'story' ... doesn't work well imo seems chaotic

2. the guys charging from a dug in position at guys allready charging at them while talking to eachother didn't go well either ... I was waiting for them to fix bayonets for crying out loud :D

other then that, good show, can't wait for the next episode woot

[Pille1234]

I had high expectations when I read the series was done without support of the US army. Finally something new without the propaganda like, heroic flagwaving bull****, or so I thought. I have to realise that it needs more than just independence to make a good movie / TV series. Maybe the future episodes become less static and predictable.

[StukaJr]

I would also like at least one character on the show whom will put his personal sh1t on hold for the tour, turn down his flaming individuality and ego for the good of the team and stop hating their squadmates more then the insurgents they are fighting p-) Also, have at least one character whom have signed up for a cause and not because he got kicked from a choir - I swear, every character is based on a liberal slant perspective of "brainwashed by the Army"...

[Laworkerbee]

My girlfriends company is doing all the music for the show, feel free to send comments at me so I can send them to her about the show. But be civil you bastards!

[sp2c]

yeah I got that from the whole '******' thing ... stupid

[Airborneranger4israel]

the only good part was the end when bo got his leg blew off by the ied, it made me so mad at the insurgents that really do that crap, god i just want to sign up now :fork:

I thought tonight was a good show, much better than the intro! Hey, that hardcore Sgt could be Argyll! :lol: p-)

Seriously, tonight it was pretty intense with the check points, that has to be ****ed up for those boys on a daily basis.

[California Joe]

Just watched the last episode. Jesus. Makes me want to shoot half the guys in the show. A black guy actually said "Honky" WTF? Is it Welcome Back Kotter? FNG shows up and he's of Arab descent and all of a sudden he's a frigging specialist in counter terrorism......I want to kill the producers of this show for blowing a golden opportunity.

[usa320]

x2

Tonights episode was really good.

And alot of the **** they showed really is **** that happens, like the haji's hiding in the trunks and ****. I think they should deploy them cell phone jammers at as many checkpoints as they can, because a good amount of these VBIED's seemed to be triggered by cellys. Or they have detanators, but if the driver in the bomb car is shot, a guy in a following car is able to detonate the bomb by cell phone.

[Kaze]

Aww..... :(

Must I beg for some character development?
problem is this aint a movie.....

as Usa320 points out there is only 35 to 40 mins of actual story (the rest being commercials) to introduce a large cast. Most movies that do the subliminal things tend to have a small cast with only one or two people the focus of the plot

You need to be patient....they have a whole season to develop characters...I'll give FX the benefit of the doubt..afterall they have a good track record

[M1A2U2]

that scene with the little girl he thought was alive was intense.

PS last week they said the next episode would involve that special forces guy. What happened?

[jmatucd]

hmm... interesting how when the cell phone started ringing from the trunk of the car, every single soldier gathers around it as quickly as they can instead of staying in protected positions....

whats the point of having a bomb kill everyone huddled around the trunk (yes it was a guy, but how would they know that, there could of been a delay)

are these producers / writers on crack? I've seen WWI tactics in episode 1 that would have gotten everyone shot to pieces and plenty of suicidal behavior from these soldiers in episode 2... christ

and the drama in the hospital and the actors with the tension and incompatible personalities

oh man that must be some good **** they're smoking

[TuNeRsHaRk]

i ****ing missed it last night


F U C K ME HARD

[Deuterium]

I saw last night's episode, it will be my last. They completely screw-up how soldiers talk to each other, it’s not very realistic. The incorrect verbiage, incorrect relationships between Officers, NCOs, and lower enlisted is typical Hollywood crap. They didn't even come close. This show is completely laughable. Anyone thinking this is even remotely like what it's like "over there" is fooling themselves.
My time "over there"

Iraq OCT 02-MAy 03
Iraq JAN 04-Jun 04
Iraq Nov 04-Jul 05

[Laworkerbee]

What did you guys think of the song Amen?

I liked the second episode about the roadblock

[Twombles375]

The premier show, I agree wasn't to good. Last nights episode was a lot better. Did anyone notice the medic in the end of the premier episode, the one working on Bo? It looked like the fat chubby freckled face kid from "Big Green" and the "Sandlot". Looks like we'll see some more of him as an extra. I also noticed that most of the infantrymen in the fire team had PASGT. The truck drivers (the ladies), a rab dude, and the CO in the humvee had MICH helmets. I would imagine seeing it the other way around.

[punchinout]

the show was so hyped and now....it just sort of sucks, so unrealistic. I did like the roadblock episode, but its so hollywood, i think Deuterium got it right when he said its portraying the relationship between NCO's and enlisted personel wrong. and the preview for next week...oh man, it seems like they are gonna show SF as bad guys...now that's f-ed up!!! anyways, the guy who played Bull on Band of Brothers is gonna be that SF guy.

yea i thought it was gonna be an SVBIED, but they all gathered around it...crazy!!!
