Nov 9, 2017Very 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.

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.
