Fighting Season

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

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.

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.

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.

Ideally I would give this show no stars. As a veteran of the Afghanistan war I gave up watching it after the second episode, anything to do with the military in this show is 100% inaccurate. The ceremonial dress uniforms are worn wrong, not ironed correctly, not sure how the infantry combat badge is awarded to someone who only has the Australian Defence Medal (4 years service), the medal precedence is in the wrong order. Not sure what year this is meant to be set but infantry units no longer wear the dull cherry beret (It was only worn by 3 RAR, who are no longer paratroopers or located in Sydney). The F88S used in the series was taken out of service in 2010 and replaced with the F88SA2. The so called patrol base was built wrong it needs a hesco basket wall around the perimeter. The landrover was never used by any deployed unit outside of special forces, the preferred vehicle was the bushmaster PMV. If there was a military advisor used their credentials need to be checked.
