For those that haven't seen this show yet, it's about a Navy submarine captain who is asked to fire on and wipe out an entire country--Pakistan. He refuses and goes rogue after that, and the show continues to give a good dose of reality with crew members who choose to stand down rather than continue to carry on as though they were betraying their country. Their country however, fired on them after their captain refused to wipe out several million Pakistanis.
The show is well acted and has some wonderful special effects and a beautiful island setting, which enhances the allure, but beyond that are the human aspects to the show that are refreshingly real in both dialog and acting.
The latest episode, "Voluntold," has an unexpected scene when the wife of the executive officer on the sub suddenly comes out of her house and tells the truth to the major media about the government and its lies regarding the sub. That scene alone really makes one think. If more people did that, how much longer could the major media keep trying to bury the truth...and how many more people would continue to believe that joining the military was necessarily in the best interest of our country?
