    [A] well-executed, edge-of-your-seat drama.... It reduces a unique story to a typical genre entry.... [Shaw's] characters are ruinous, emotionally stunted creatures.

    I normally don't take the time to do reviews, but this is easily one of the best TV shows on right now. I'm afraid people may not be watchingI normally don't take the time to do reviews, but this is easily one of the best TV shows on right now. I'm afraid people may not be watching it because it is not a mainstream network but please do not let that stop you. Watch a few episodes and you will be hooked. Being a drama based on history you already know the ultimate outcome, but it will still leave you sitting on the edge of your seat. The cast is superb and flawless and you will not be disappointed.… Full Review »

Japanese were ruthless cowardly rapists, tortures and murderers. Innocent lives were lost unfortunately, but millions more would have died in an invasion. Ever visit the Philippines? I lives there from 1969 to 1972 and heard all of the atrocities these animals were committing. Bye Bye Manhattan.. another piece of Hollywood crap. Stick to history. Look at why things are. Look at the examples of American NOT to use this kind of force again. look at the United States leading in the desire to control these weapons.… Full Review »
