Anyone watching this new TV show?
It's like they are trying to recreate MASH show for Afghanistan.
It's mainly about the misadventures of a couple field medics at a forward operating base. There is funny, and ugly, and preposterous, and maddening all at once. A black dramedy.
While I think they are getting these guys into crap too fast and too often to be remotely realistic, this kind of stuff happens albeit at thinner slower scale.
It's pretty good show for now if you forgive for the pacing of the calamities.
It might hit a tailspin if the ridiculous goes too far, but this might also end up being a classic. It has background material for ages to draw from.
I'm giving it an early thumbs up.
