Apr 22, 2022Overusing 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.

Apr 15, 2019This series has severe religious overtones, no swearing, unrealistic interactions within the armed forces and is completely black and white. If you are looking for a decent semi realistic war mini series perhaps watch Generation Kill. It really feels like this series was made for an upright Christian viewership.

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.

A mostly conventional approach to a story framed around heroism and faith, it’s a show that does the most justice to its real-life inspiration when it resists its own impulses to manufacture drama where plenty already exists.

This tautly emotional and up-close look at a mettle-testing day in Iraq seems certain to become its most resonant and valuable production to date.
