Tim Robbins is fantastic.
Jack Black is very good.
Great supporting cast.
Only negative to me is Fighter pilot story is only so-so , but still gets a laugh every so often.

I like it. They are huge frick ups, they find out the Admiral knows everything. They decide to get wasted and go AWOL and then end up being the only fighter pilots on the ship, when a jet is headed to Israel with a nuke.

Would you say it's on the brink of greatness?

It has been great, Robbins will get an Emmy nod for his role. How many episodes are left? Can't be many.

It seems like this board and viewers in general are much higher on the show than critics - both RT and Metacrtic have it around 50% or so.

I love it overall. Some episodes have been better than others. I really enjoyed this past one.

Fantastic show. Writing, acting, and directing are all top notch.

I have loved this. I started it and Ballers with TD and by 3 episodes in, the only one I look forward to is this.

The political side of me hates Tim Robbins' character with a passion, but I definitely like the show.

Why do people bring politics into their television watching?

Carla Gugino is an absolute smoke show for a 40-yr old.

Love this show.

There has been 0 left-right on this show, which has been fantastic. It's just a bunch of frick ups hilariously trying to save the world.

Robbins' character is left-leaning for sure, but I don't really care about that because it is ultimately entertaining. He was pushing for peace as a policy after a failed Nuclear launch, come on.

It is a show entirely about politics. Wouldn't you think people would relate to or invest in characters on either side of that forum?

She's 43 (44 in 2 weeks).

And she's more attractive than most 20 something year olds much less 40yrolds
