I purchased this from Amazon and was really looking forward to watching it. How disappointing it turned out to be.
Imagine making a soap opera out of life on a carrier. It's no revelation that garbage needs to be handled, toilets need to be scrubbed, and food needs to be cooked on a boat with 5000 people. How many times did we need to see so many banal actions? Such lousy direction and film editing.
Oh look, sailors get horny, drunk, and get into fights! Duh. How could this be remotely interesting? At least a real soap opera does it better. Personal problems, inter-personnel problems, different opinions, on my! Like a plate piled high with spaghetti, Chermayeff served up banal vignettes.
I wanted to see how C&C functioned, how the leadership teams co-operated and clashed, how the different parts of the ship worked. Of course some focus on the sailors is absolutely needed. Instead we got a poorly done soap.
Don't spend any money on this show, watch it for free or not at all. I regret purchasing it.
