I saw the commercials every 5 minutes during A.D. and figured that NBC would put a spin on it so the muzzies weren’t the real bad guys.

So it’s another documentary like “Madam Secretary” then?

Thank you for the review, it confirms what I was able to glean from the trailers.

I had hoped for more.

NBC: No Bloody Chance.

What little drama there is upheld by the female lead in the show (Anna Friel?), who does a good job looking desperate and pissed-off at the same time. Peter Facinelli is also watchable.

Doesn't sound like much of anything here is watchable. Obviously, it isn't just NBC, although NBC is as bad as any and worse than most. I used to like Law and Order. The last of that series I ever watched was the segment in which they thought Ken Starr needed to be trashed. NBC works pretty hard ar driving away the audience.

I saw exactly the same things you saw and thought the writers must have spent some time in the Occupy Wall Street camps in order to “create” this mutt of a show.

Caught a few minutes, enough time to get a similar vibe as you’ve described. Not buying what they’re selling.

I recorded it and had some hopes. It looks like it hit my fears of an NBC show rather than hopes. I wasted a few weeks on the Homeland knock-off State of Affairs and the The Americans knock-off Allegence. I don't think I'll even bother watching American Odyssey now.

What’s an “NBC”?

[ExNewsExSpook]

I made the mistake of watching the entire episode, and I won’t do that again. When I saw them making heroes out of the “Occupy” crowd, I knew the mini-series was in serious trouble. Nothing more than a classic hit piece on big business and the military; I fully expect a Dick Cheney-like character to appear in the next couple of weeks.

Its gone soon. It didn’t do well enough to get renewed even for horrible NBC. The Bible show last night was a ratings disappointment too. It had higher ratings on the History channel.....lol.
