Member Gaijin84 Posted August 23, 2021 Member Share Posted August 23, 2021 Revisiting this show as I find the Vietnam War endlessly fascinating. Through the first five episodes and it's quite enjoyable. The series takes place in 1968, so before the Tet offensive as far as I can tell. There are some clunky acting scenes but for the most part Terence Knox is very solid as the lead character "Zeke" Anderson. They don't really dumb down the military talk so you kind of have to know the jargon to understand what they are talking about. Fair amount of guest appearances so far, including Bill Sadler, Tia Carrere and James Hong. If you can, watching it with the original score is a must. Paint It, Black is the opening credit song and a ton of era-appropriate music is used. Later DVD releases did not obtain the music rights and therefore substituted generic covers and atmospheric music instead. Would be interested if anyone else has seen the series and thoughts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
