Not sure why all the critic reviews are bad. I tried to sort it out in my head but I just don't understand where they're coming from.
I love Chris's Pratt so even tho I'm not a huge fan of war/military movies, I thought I would give it a shot. Honestly, after episode 1, I thought, maybe not for me, kinda slow and boring but I told myself to watch until episode 3 before making a decision. Totally off topic but years ago I told a friend to watch Schitt's Creek (waaaay before it was popular) and after one episode she said, no, I don't like it, so I said watch three episodes and if you still don't like it I will never bring it up again. She's now a die hard fan. So, the three episode test does work, lol.
It picked up and I was hooked. It's a military/action/mystery kinda show. Very good! People have said it's, "predictable" and I do agree, to a certain extent. Yes, literally watching episode 1 I had an idea which did pan out BUT not 100%.
As far as the dark thing goes, I don't like shows/movies that are shot, "dark", usually horror movies, but this show was fine. I had no problem with overly dark scenes AT ALL.
I didn't find anything political in this. It was simply a fun ride. I suppose if you watch a movie with a pad and pen in hand and try very, very hard to find something political, you might? I don't know because I honestly saw nothing like that.
Very entertaining and just a fun ride! Give it a shot.
