Fighting Season

I don't know who your military adviser was but I hope you never paid them. Everything military in this series was incorrect, from the way they carried their weapons to how they wore their uniforms. Lanyards were worn on incorrect side, berets and slouch hats were worn incorrectly, hats and berets were not bashed correctly, medals were worn incorrectly and more importantly most actors worn them not in order of precedence. All those soldiers who were from teds platoon would have been wearing at least the NATO Medal with ISAF clasp, Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Australian Active Service Medal with ICAT Clasp and the Infantry Combat Badge. Some of them in last episode wore only the Australian Defence Medal (For 4 years service) and the Infantry Combat Badge only. I am a veteran and I was appalled with the wearing of the medals plus the numerous other mistakes made by the Military adviser and the Director. I am sure I can speak for other veterans that these type of mistakes should never have happened. If you want to make a series or film about Australian campaigns then get it right the first time.

An excellent plot with a few twists. Very good acting, in particular from the leads, Jay Ryan, Ewen Leslie & Kate Mulvaney, & support actor Jay Laga'aia.

Acting wasn't that good. Good concept though....if you want to watch a really good series watch "the fighting season"

This excellent mystery series shines a light on what our soldiers and their families face fighting overseas, and more importantly coming home. Totally gripping and heartbreaking in parts. Excellent acting from the leads and some newcomers I didn't know. Best series I have seen this year.

I won't lie to you I have no idea about the army, especially the Australian army, I don't know about their rules or anything related to them, but the drama and mystery in this show is enough to keep you watching and biting your fingernails, the whole 6 episodes, Jay Ryan's performance was MAGNIFICENT, so were Ewen Leslie and Kate Mulvany's, but in my opinion Jay was the best, I would have loved to say the same about the wives characters and little boys, but well, they're secondary characters and we can let them pass, if you have the chance to watch it, don't miss it, you won't be sorry.
