The Long Road Home stands above the pack as a truly heart-wrenching and often breathtakingly harrowing display of bravery, valor and sacrifice under fire. [30 Oct 2017 - 12 Nov 2017, p.13]

Characterization is not the strong suit of The Long Road Home, but the actors do their level best, and directors Phil Abraham and Mikael Salomon excel at depicting the camaraderie of the soldiers as well as the chaos that envelops them at several key moments. But The Long Road Home could have trimmed its overlong running time by cutting out all the home-front storylines.

For the most part, The Long Road Home would rather stick to stock scenes and manipulative sympathy-seeking that add up to "support the troops" messaging than tell messily human stories. Thus the miniseries is the latest pop-culture military production to fail to understand that you can powerfully do both.

Eight hours, frankly, stretches the story in a way that creates uneven patches. Although it allows more time to develop characters and their histories -- including flashbacks before their deployment, and jumping ahead beyond it -- those arcs perhaps cast too wide a net, diluting the powerful moments by creating more space to drift into melodrama.

it is amazing and casting is spot on , Jeremy Sisto , Michael Kelly and Jason Ritter could have their own weekly series with this. I hope the show wins an emmy, This show does deserve a lot of great attention.

Both visually convincing and emotionally compelling, The Long Road Home dedicates each episode to specific characters using some of the methods from Band of Brothers to effectively highlight the high tensions in a critical situation.

Very pretentious and weirdly religious. The only actors that are great and I *want* to see (like Noel Fisher) barely have any screen time at all.
More action would have helped. There isn't very much and it feels very "small", as if they had a terribly limited budget.

Overusing off focus shots and some of these scenes are way too long with nothing for the eyes to really focus on. Also a problem with unnecessary bobbing of the camera, very noticeable.
