Featured review
{Initial Response} A dive into the cross border (πΊπΈ and π¨π¦) drama around the Vietnam war. For a series that depends on high emotion (personal and political) it struggles to find its footing (the news footage helps). It suffers, a little bit, by having every character having a disparate crisis. There is no steady ground, no safe place for them to land, no hope for the struggle, no destination for the journey to take, which makes the turmoil chaotic rather than forge a narrative. There are also some sloppy mistakes (the border crossing incident should have been on the American side not the Canadian side, what's with the gate at the border?, and how did Hunter know where to meet Lang?) but it has a good cast who are giving good performances (π¨π¦ produced, π¨π¦ supporting cast and crew). Based on the first episode, I'm giving this series a tentative 6 (wistful) out of 10, hoping that they will begin to ground (and clean up) the story. {Drama}
