    Very interesting documentary that looks at both the rules of engagement and how they can be broken, and how command works at the lowest levels of the Army. I'm intrigued to find out how Lorance ended up in jail. Obviously we don't want the Army to kill everything in sight, especially in occupied territories, but let's get them out of there. They're not cops, they're soldiers and havingVery interesting documentary that looks at both the rules of engagement and how they can be broken, and how command works at the lowest levels of the Army. I'm intrigued to find out how Lorance ended up in jail. Obviously we don't want the Army to kill everything in sight, especially in occupied territories, but let's get them out of there. 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!… Expand

    The filmmakers — the series is directed by Paul Pawlowski, a veteran of sports broadcasts and documentaries, and Steven Soderbergh is an executive producer — present all of this with brisk competence. They frame the obvious paradoxes, such as how conservative support of Lorance entails casting the troops who testified against him as liars or pawns. They don’t establish a real point of view, though, or weave the divergent threads in a way that’s particularly surprising or moving.

    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.
