    Storyline

    Edit
    Captain John Yossarian, a World War II bombardier, is stationed on the island of Pianosa. He is an individualist who seeks to protect his own life by fleeing to the hospital, since a "catch-22" in the Air Force regulations prevents him from being grounded for illness or obtaining a leave.

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The name of George Clooney's character is Scheisskopf. In German, "kopf" means "head" (in both the anatomical and hierarchical senses) and "scheiss" is a vulgarism meaning "feces" (and having the same colloquial meaning as the English word "shit"). So translated literally, "Scheisskopf" means "shithead," though that exact insult doesn't exist in German.

    A Decent Adaptation
    This is my favorite book. I watched the movie ages ago and hated it. This miniseries makes up for it. The casting is amazing. I always envisioned Yossarian as young and attractive and this actor does him justice. The first few episodes had me rolling with laughter. Much like the book, as the story goes on, it gets darker. I didn't like how the ending is completely different than the book. I wish they could have added a little more of the zany humor and I wish it would have been a few episodes longer. Also if I had been writing, I would have added more foreshadowing of Orr and his flying crashes and how he was always trying to coerce Yossarian to fly with him. Yoyo's A-HA moment was very anticlimactic. Other than that. It was pretty good. I binged them all on one day. When I watched I was watching for similarities to the book. I will probably watch again with fresher eyes as a series instead of an adaptation.

    FAQ1

    • In episode one where are the rest of the machine gun parts in the forward turrets? All I see are two covered "stumps" from inside.
