Alby, to each his own. Here's the kind of press the show is getting:

"Peace at any price" purveyors are going gaga over the new FX Channel series "depicting" the Iraq war, "Over There," produced by Steven Bochco of Hill Street Blues fame. "Wow! Anybody else watch Over There last night?" gushed a writer for the antiwar blogsite Daily Kos. "Within a few minutes . . . it was obvious that Iraq was Vietnam all over again."

and:

In order to include women, two females from a transportation unit just happen to join the siege. In fact, they just happen to tag along for the rest of the series! Reality is sacrificed to the God of Diversity.

etc, etc, etc. I could go on. Imo, this is one of the worst shows I've ever seen. But there's a movie coming out called, I believe, the Great Raid or something similar that looks promising.

Remember all those John Wayne movies that came out during ww2? Not only were they good entertainment but they promoted patriotism. Well, the movie industry is poised to come out with a slew of war movies that will be more sublinially anti-American than anything else. What else does one expect from Hollywood these days? Over There is similar in its theme. Boy, things have sure changed.
