"Over There" Television Series
I haven't written about non-science television on Nomadic Thoughts yet and don't plan to on a regular basis, but I caught the premiere of the new FX series "Over There" tonight. The promos made it look gritty (the only kind of drama I really like) and I found tonight's episode just that. Set in Iraq, it's very similar to the film Traffic, both visually and dialogically in that it has the feel of a documentary rather than a drama (no ambient music, shaky camera, etc.). I obviously can't give a qualified opinion as to its level of authenticity but from what I can tell the show has rather realistic combat scenes and interaction between the soldiers. One to check out, but like all programs I like from the beginning it will probably be cancelled after a few seasons.
