Summary: Great Show!
Comment: Why is it that all the good shows get canceled? My fiancee had this on his Amazon wish list for his birthday, and I got it for him. We watched it together and it is an amazing series! The characters will grab you and you won't want to let go. The only let down is that there is only one season and we wanted more!

Summary: Great Show, Too Bad it was cancelled
Comment: It is very unfortunate that this show got cancelled, cause this show was great! It dealt with an ongoing conflict with a lot of respect and stayed very authentic. It really is too bad that FX couldn't have stuck with this show longer cause I think it would have gotten only better!

Summary: My favorite TV series!
Comment: This is by far the best TV series I have watched to date! The acting is superb, and the plot unbelievable, yet based on current events. The writers did an excellent job with the script for this series. The sets were also very believable and authentic. Arab actors very well played the Iraqi people. The filming must have been done in an Arab country, but I'm only guessing. It really felt like you are in Iraq. Much of the events portrayed in the series are actual events that made the news, and for this reason it was very controversial. Reading about real events and actually seeing them acted out are two completely different experiences. The series will re-enforce feelings you have about the Iraqi war, regardless on which side you are on, and whether you are for or against the war.
And O yes, I loved the theme song of this series!
This TV series does not glamorize war, but rather portrays the horrors of war as viewed from all sides. I wish there were more episodes, or a second season. But from what I have heard, it was pulled off the air for its controversial content. It seems some people in government don't want us to watch this series! A little off the subject, I highly recommend the book, `The End of America', by Naomi Wolf. Things are not the way they used to be in the United States, and people, whether writers, film makers, or journalists, are not free anymore to express themselves without the fear of being persecuted. The book will give you insight on why this TV series had such a short lifespan.
At the end of this series you will be asking yourself, "Why do we wage wars against each other?" You will probably come to the conclusion that we are but animals in suits and uniforms! That was my conclusion.

Summary: Realistic View of the Gulf War.
Comment: I watched this series with my husband who is a war veteran. I experienced the full spectrum of emotions from anger to joy, shock to disgusted. I enjoyed seeing an inside look at what our soldiers go through. By the way, you dont need to purchace the pilot seperately because it is included with the set.

Summary: It could have been wonderful
Comment: I was really ooking forward to a smart and insightful show about the war in Iraq. But it jumped the shark when the guy hooked up with the french lady who was a governess of an orphange. I can believe an Amrican GI hits it with a French governess, in France, in 1944.

Editorial Reviews:
|
In this ground-breaking new series from Steven Bochco (NYPD Blue, Hill Street Blues) "Over There" takes you to the front lines of battle and explores the effects of war on a U.S. Army unit sent to Iraq on their first tour of duty, as well as the equally powerful effects felt at home by their families and loved ones.
