    Formally, Leavenworth is straightforward. Don't let the "Soderbergh" brand name fool you into expecting aesthetic flourish. It's dominated by these talking heads and makes solid use of archival pictures and footage to open the story up a little, but it's talky to the degree you could almost just listen to it as a podcast.

They're not cops, they're soldiers and having them in Afghanistan for this amount of time is bound to result in multiple tragedies. I also find it hard to believe his troops not only turned on him (I can't hazard a guess as to why just yet) the way they did, given that the stereotype for cops and soldiers is to protect their own. I have to wonder if it was because he was gay? So far they just cite his inexperience at division, and their desire to have another commander as the reasons why the distrusted him off the bat. I'm interested to see more. Too bad it's weekly. Just release all of it HBO!… Full Review »
