"Over There"
Have you seen this show? Oh. My. Goodness. It is so grossly graphic, very violent, and completely captivating.
Over There is about a group of soldiers stationed in Iraq. From the mind of Steven Bochco, it's no surprise it's such a great, grabbing, graphic show. This is, afterall, the guy who showed the world Dennis Franz's butt.
The first episode aired just a few minutes ago. In it we saw a mine taking a guy's leg and a grenade blowing a guy in pieces. Literally. But that's just the violent shite. What makes this show tick is the reaction of the soldiers. Their emotions, how they handle the stress of being in a war zone, how bad it is, how it gets to even the most inhuman of humans. It doesn't seem completely real, but do remember it is still entertainment. It's entertainment that tries to say something.
It's on every Wednesday at 9 pm on the History Channel, reruns Thursdays 12 am, Friday 10 pm, Saturday 2 am.
Watch it.
