The work of a ship is real. The series is a highlight reel. Watch one hour, not the habit.

The review

History Channel followed one aircraft carrier through the Pacific, which is a sound way to tell a navy war: a single deck, the men who live under it, the battles that find it. Battle 360 likes the deck more than the men. Computer imagery restages the fights. Survivors speak, and then the picture goes back to the explosion.

One episode is a fair introduction to what a carrier was. The series, watched as a run, becomes a sport. If a boy is interested in the ship, good. Hand him the interest and then a plainer page about the sailors, including the ones who did not come off that hull. The hull is not the veteran. The crew is.

Journal

Keep Battle 360 in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 45. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Vietnam in HD

55 instead of 45

Vietnam in HD is still a war show, and it scores 55 instead of 45. What you gain is household: Letters and returns.

The eight

7
Industry
A carrier is a town of jobs. The series is best when it stays on the jobs.
3
Household
The ship is the household. The real households are offscreen.
2
Piety
Affection for the steel. Little else.
6
Courage
The attacks on the ship were courage. The series prefers the moment of impact.
5
Republic
A navy is a public instrument. The series makes it a character.
4
Temperance
Computer battles, a weekly climax.
5
Truth
The Enterprise's war is real. The telling is a magazine.
4
Stewardship
What it leaves is fondness for a hull. Add the crew list yourself.

The truth is the confusion. Adults. The language is filthy. Do not mistake the competence for a defense of the invasion.

The review

David Simon and Ed Burns dramatize the Rolling Stone reporter's ride with 1st Recon in the opening of the Iraq War. The officers are a mix of careful men and men who want a story to tell. The enlisted men are very good at a narrow craft and are used as if the craft were a plan. The series is funny in the way exhausted people are funny, and it is often cruel.

Adults only, and not because of the combat. Because of the talk, which a younger viewer will imitate. If you watch it, watch it as a report on the first weeks, not as a personality to borrow. The charge is to notice when an order is about someone's reputation. That noticing is the useful thing the series knows.
