Really great series despite not being greatly close to the book. Captures the senselessness and absolute insanity of war and the people driving the war. I just wish they didn't settle for this ending as to me personally it really did nothing for the show, the plot or the main character. At the same time, one must reflect that it's sadly quite likely that for many of the men killed in wars, this was very close to what they experienced, eventually statistics catching up to them and ending up dead even after all the hardship, ordeal and madness faced. Still, the series cut short, especially according to the source material.
The dramatic end of a profound inspired adaptation of a cult novel. The death of Snowden gives to Yossarian the power to give to the near reality the only reasonable answer. His nudity is only a cry. The last form of definition of his profound and painful loneliness. And that does the episode remarkable. Because all becomes clear in the most convincing manner. The last scene - crumb from a new mission is the fair conclusion to a serie becoming wise parable about every day life mor than a manifesto against war.
A near perfect end to a highly entertaining series. Quite emotional in parts, and me being a northerner, for a TV show to get to me that's impressive. He fought a system that was too busy too even notice, which is so sad. Watched in three days and has left an indelible impression on me. Cool show.
Great series, but I do prefer the book though.
Anyone else noticed that leutenant Newman is a spitting image of Newman from Mad magazine?

While most of us have grown up reading Catch 22 as a satirical novel, this was a tight and gripping adaptation, saw it as a binge watch in one go. Excellent acting and taut direction and easy story telling makes it a real good watch. Wish George Clooney edits this one to a movie running around 120 minutes, can be easily done.

- TriviaThe ending of the series varies greatly from the novel. In the novel, Colonel Cathcart offers to send Yossarian home if he agrees to stop his nude protest and publicly support the colonel's plan to raise the number of missions. After agreeing to this, Yossarian is stabbed by Nately's girlfriend, who went crazy after his death. As he recuperates, he reflects on Snowden's death and decides not to accept the deal. The chaplain informs Yossarian that Orr, whom everyone believed to be almost mentally deficient, had escaped to Sweden as part of a long-plotted escape. Inspired, Yossarian runs off, with Nately's knife-wielding girlfriend on his tail.
- GoofsYossarian's new tent-mate introduces himself as "Lieutenant Newman," however the rank insignia on his uniform is the insignia of a sergeant.
