    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 because in the end you don't really know anything about them.They just did their job and that is exactlyI am not a fan of procedular dramas, although I watch a few.

    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.

    The Brave is refreshingly free of obligatory domestic baggage. Its thrills are generic, but at least it stays focused on the mission.

    Nothing about the first episode makes us think The Brave is any different than most case-of-the-week fare built for mass appeal. Even without any real character development, the deaths of so many characters, so early, might be too jarring for mainstream audiences to handle.
