Homefront

This is a very silly series done in a soap opera genre. Acting is atrocious and the script just seemed to have been made up on the fly. Plot is extremely superficial and really just a lot of fluff. Seemed to be written by a high school writing class! If the creators were hoping to get subsequent seasons, it's really not hard to see why this was not the case.

One of the best shows for returning vets from the two wars. Obviously, whoever wrote these plots knew the military community well. The one scene where the Major's wife quits a job because she is tired of the trivial concerns resonates with every veteran. We all come back having death with life/death issues. Then having to deal with stupid trivial concerns.

The issues here are real. Kudos to someone for caring about what veterans and their families go through. The acting is good. The dialogue is fine. Good dialogue. The plot lines make sense. It is rare to see such focus on the view of the two wars from the perspectives of the families.
