Enlisted

Let me start off saying that I know next to nothing about the US military so Im purely looking at this from an enjoyment factor. i started this show having no idea really what it was about (or even that it was a comedy) but I found it really fun. it feels like it could verge on being stupid but I haven't found that yet. I love the relationship between the brothers, it's both sweet and cheeky and there's a lot of love there. I also like how they do cover real issues such as how soldiers can feel returning from a war zone. This issue was treated with respect which I approved of. Overall I love it and will definitely keep watching

I started watching the show because I love everything Army related. I enjoyed the Army parts but they are really bad. I barely watched the whole episode. First, the main character is the only reason I watched the show. The actor is doing a great job but it's not enough. The rest of the cast is just bad. We have three brothers. The big brother is looking after the rest. The middle is nothing special. He attacks his little brother for talking too much most of the time during the episode. The little brother is really weird. He always says stupid stuff and trying to be "the cool guy no one from the cast likes but is the one the public likes". The storyline is actually pretty nice but I couldn't care less for the plot. The comedy is really lame and stupid. Some of the jokes are not even jokes. They are stuff that the characters are saying and you are supposed to laugh. I give it 3/10 only because the brothers are well casted. (one star for every brother)

...this show is awful. I like Geoff Stults. I loved "The Finder" and I was outraged when they took it away from me. The character he portrayed was intriguing, but the producers and the network couldn't figure out what to do with him. The pilot was outstanding, but they messed with it. They replaced Saffron Burrows (MISTAKE), gave his character an unbelievable relationship, never quite made enough use of his amazing abilities. The late Michael Clarke Duncan was wonderful in the series, and Maddie Hasson as Willow as spectacular. I'd say Fox wasted a tremendous property. But "Enlisted"... Geoff is the ONLY reason I sat all the way through the pilot, and I have no intention of wasting any more time on it. My wife said, "Don't they put their best stuff in the pilot? It's only going to get WORSE from this?" I think that says it all. Sad.

My father was in the Canadian Forces for over 25 years. The Royal Canadian Air Force or RCAF. We also spent 3 years in Duluth Minnesota and at times Dad was flown with his Colonel to some of the best golf courses in the United States because he was a Scratch Golfer. So yes I do know a little about military life. I am really amazed at how many of the reviewers thought this television show would depict Enlisted as a documentary of military life. What these reviewers don't realize is Enlisted is a comedy; a tongue in cheek comedy. Comedies are not about fact. Military shows like these are all about breaking the rules and engaging in activities that would never happen in the military. It is about someone punching a colonel and being sent home, wearing the uniforms incorrectly or not meeting the weight requirement. I compared this show to the likes of Gomer Pyle, McHale's Navy, MASH, Stripes and Private Benjamin. Of which I enjoyed for their entertainment value and not for their authenticity. Most of us realized these shows and movies were not how military really was. So for all you negative reviewers sit back and enjoy the show and remember that it is a comedy and not a documentary.
