A lot. The main characters acting for one. (0 more)
I started this show thinking that I'd finally found a new show I could get into. I watched about 2 maybe 3 episodes (it's been a while) and it was painful to watch. Now of course many shows have that couple episode area where you need to push through and then it starts getting better. This show didn't have it.

The relationship between the main protagonist and his wife feels fake. He seems to care little to none about his son and overall the actor's performance gives the feel that he was given a script that just doesn't work.

Some of the settings also feel like they were slapped together last minute.

When I was at school, the Battle of Midway was barely touched upon.

The Somme? Yep.

The Battle of Britain? Absolutely.

Pearl Harbour? Briefly.

That, I'm guessing, would be completely different if I lived in America (instead of, as I do, Great Britain).

So Midway, itself, was a battle that I really only learnt about in later life and then really only in the most general of terms.

This movie seeks to retell the events that led up to, and occurred within, that battle after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbo(u)r that led to the US joining the Second World War, Unfortunately, it's largely forgettable (and largely bloodless), with none of the cast really making all that much of an impact.
