5.0 out of 5 stars Focused on reality, September 9, 2006

By 

Kenneth R. Kadan "Largeman" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: E-Ring (DVD)

Unfortunately, more and more excellent shows regarding our nation's fight against world-wide terrorism are being pulled off television by short-sighted network executives. Remember "The Agency"? This type of programming is not allowed to develop an audience. More than ever before, we need shows like E-Ring to keep our citizens focused on the reality of what is actually happening throughout the world.

Here, we were treated to excellent writing and acting each week - the stories were wonderfully executed. Americans could witness the politics and pressures of making minute by minute decisions by the people who work at the Pentagon. As in real life, the decisions were not always the best or the worst - but the decisions were made and the consequences realized. It is my understanding that NBC ordered 22 episodes of E-Ring but only aired 14 shows. Too bad - I hope the complete first season will be released on DVD soon. It will an honor to watch the full 22 shows as originally produced.

5.0 out of 5 stars One word..., November 2, 2005

By 

J Lathrop - See all my reviews

This review is from: E-Ring (DVD)

One word, and one word only...EXCELLENT. This show is not only entertaining, but fairly accurate. I know this because I'm a military buff, an intelligence buff, and a history/political science buff. Yes, there are SOME flaws in it. But that's only because of Government approval.

Dennis Hopper and Benjamin Bratt play army Spec Op officers in the pentagon. Their mission is to launch and assist Special Forces Missions around the world. They have to bypass legal and political matters in the process.

Watch this at least once. Trust me, you won't regret it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Educational, April 23, 2007

This review is from: E-Ring (DVD)

For those of us who watch the operations of the US military from across the Atlantic and whose only experiences of the the headquarters of the DoD are the shopping mall at Pentagon City, this show gives a valuable insight into the workings of the world's largest military command centre.

I regularly check facts on the Net and am under no illusions about the rights and wrongs of the current US Administration's military activities, but, I find E-Ring gives us at least some impression of how the men and women of the US armed forces work, from day to day.

I would also recommend JAG (Judge Advocate General) - The Complete First Season and its successors as well.
