Their stories are brave, Tony’s research may be lacking
I’m giving this show a 4 star rating purely because of the first hand accounts, there stories may help others and that’s is amazing. The show does not glorify war, it humanizes it so that people may better understand what some veterans are working through. With that said, the host try’s to stay out of the way but may not fully understand the topic. One of the glaring inaccuracies is in the 3rd episode (Stormenski), he talks about the fictional character Doc Roe from Band of Brothers. While not all of the show is 100% historically accurate Eugene Gilbert "Doc" Roe Sr. was in fact not a fictional character. Honestly it shows that the research was lacking as was fact checking. This sort of simple error to me call into question most of his insights and interjections through out the stories. If he feels the need to step in an explain things he should have the soldier he is interviewing do it, if that’s not an option find a subject matter expert. What should not be happening is guess work or under researched explanations these mistakes end up taking away from the real story.Read full review »

The narrator talks WAY too dramatically. The subject matter is extremely compelling and it's great to hear these stories that don't get told, but every time the narrator comes on he ruins it. The stories are very dramatic by themselves, in a good way, so they don't need him taking it...Read full review »
