It’s The Brave (from Israeli producer Avi Nir, who shepherded “Homeland” to American TV) that busts in with the smoothest operation skills [of the new military dramas], as Anne Heche plays a hard-driven intelligence agency head who gives orders to a tightknit (and ethnically diverse) special-ops team.

Capable enough time-killer, but nothing compelling. Read full review

The Brave’s patriotism and its approach to dealing with threats to Americans is cathartic. Plausible? You’ll have to find another series for that. Read full review

The series follows the template for action shows but makes the most of it through crisp pacing and realistic action sequences. Read full review

The Brave, which is as generic as broadcast network pilots get, feels like it’s a latecomer to the wave of post-“Homeland” dramas that were commissioned a few years ago. There’s no sophistication in the treatment of geopolitics or the wars in the Middle East, its characters are bland, and even the action sequences have nothing special to set them apart.

NBC isn’t breaking any new ground here, but maybe it doesn’t need to. More focused on operations with a clear procedural setup, The Brave offers up tense tactical missions, but hasn’t revealed what its narrative focus will look like. Read full review

Clearly, the life-and-death world of military operations was an appealing concept this fall, but there has to be more than a premise to back it up. In The Brave, there's just not quite enough. Read full review

I am shocked to be a huge fan of this show. The characters were well developed, the storylines were compelling and I ended up binging the first half of the season until I caught up. I think it is the best military show on tv right now. I'm not sure why I found out about it so late in theI am shocked to be a huge fan of this show.

I really liked this show, the storyline was good, the action held my attention and the actors did an excellent job of suiting their characters to the storyline. I'll be watching this one.

This show keeps surprising me every week with new plot twist and situations to get through. Characters are well liked and different than anything on tv right now. Hopefully they will keep this show on the air as it's entertaining edge of your seat kind of stuff TV is meant for.

I am not a fan of procedular dramas, although I watch a few. NBC military drama is a capable time killer, but nothing beyond that. The main problem with the show is that it feels too 'been there, done that'. The cast is fine, but there's no reason to return for the characters either becauseI am not a fan of procedular dramas, although I watch a few.

Horrible show. It is a propaganda piece for the "America is great" crowd. In essence, it is an endless barrage of patriotic prattle. Be very afraid.
