Synopsis: Over There - Season 1 (2005)

Synopis: Steven Bocho, the Emmy-winning producer responsible for such gritty television programming as NYPD BLUE and HILL STREET BLUES, turns his attentions to the conflict in Iraq for his series OVER THERE. A nonpartisan view of the experience of war, the show follows a team of seven American soldiers stationed in Iraq, all of whom are on their first tour of duty, and are reporting to Sergeant Scream (Eric Palladino, ER). The show also examines the effects of war on the families the soldiers have left behind. Avoiding politics in favor of an honest portrait of the war itself, the series is a first in that it addresses a conflict in which the U.S. was still engaged at the time of airing. Newcomer Luke MacFarlane (KINSEY) shines as Private "Dim" Murphy, while the two female soldiers, Esmeralda "Doublewide" Del Rio (Lizette Carrion) and Brenda "Mrs. B." Mitchell (Nicki Lynn Aycox) draw attention to a side of war that is often overlooked, than on the home front.

   Pros: Realistic, moving, great performances

   Cons: Possibly a little one sided

   I thought this was a terrific series and was very sad when it wasn't picked up for another season. A great show, seemed pretty realistic at showing the cost of the war on the soldiers and the ones left behind.

   Pros: Great acting, scriptwriting, special effects

   Cons: Touchy subject

   This is the controversial series on a "fictional" war in Iraq... but it seems exactly like the war we are fighting now, which is why some may not like this film. However, the miniseries goes into both sides (both the soldiers and their ladies at home) and it shows the many problems, situations, and positive things that happen in a war.
   
   It sheds more light on the issue of war and more specifically the Iraq War, but since the Iraq War is still going on, this film may be to graphic for some.
   
   However, if you like war-themed movies and mini-series, I highly recommend this miniseries. It is interesting, fast moving, dramatic, funny, and suspensful. ...
