Have you seen the show on FX "Over There"?

I did for the first time last night. I thought it was a good show. Not a jingoistic cheerleading for war, but also not a lot of preaching about how wrong the war is either. I don't think it made the Iraq War look glamorous at all. Instead, I think it showed that the soldier's life is a hard, non-glamorous one, which often presents moral or ethical dilemmas that are often not applicable to civilian life. I think the show lets the viewer keep his or her views about the war intact. I plan to watch it again.

1. I was wondering how the show was

When I first saw previews for it, I thought, "Great, another trumped up pro-war show." But I've heard it's actually not, which makes me want to see it now.

2. All we saw was the premiere episode

The teasers seemed to imply we'd get to see Iraqi prisoners being tortured during interrogation in a ghost town turned makeshift jail. Not interested.

3. the "ghost town turned makeshift jail" was a great episode.....

as good as the "protecting the highway" for a convoy of trucks with toilets episode.

must see tv for me on wednesday nights.
