CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Ploydsge just watch it!

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

bdawe14 I have to say that this show is epic all of my mates have watched it and well all loved it.They probably picked these teams because it made interesting television as for the dude that's sort of the outsider I think he's watched the hurt locker a few too many times.These guys do some seriously dangerous stuff and it's amazing to watch them in action they're pretty cool under pressure.Got to hand it to all the guys n gals out in the sand they do and epic job.Need More Lines

stevegarcia1969 I am and have been an EOD Technician in the US Military for 20 years. I've served in Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, and several other combat areas. With that being said, these guys are a couple of clowns. I'm not sure how they weren't killed or fired for the stunts they pulled.Many of the scenes seemed to be staged and I can understand that with regards to keeping our EOD procedures confidential. We, as EOD Technicians, should not be sharing our sensitive procedures in an open forum like TV so the Taliban can learn what and how we do things.As far as the show's appeal to the public, I think the average viewer without a military background will find the show interesting and exciting.I will end this review with one comment. Why did the US military pick these guys to represent a very proud, physically fit, and close knit profession like Explosive Ordnance Disposal?

zati1 I can't recommend this show enough. It's quite potentially the most riveting (in ways that are sometimes lighthearted, and ways that are sometimes heartbreaking) "reality" television shows ever produced. (In fact, I almost hesitate to refer to it as a "reality show" because it does so much more than the shows typically populating the genre of "reality." This is Survivor for REAL.) The series follows a US Navy-trained EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) team on their five-month tour in Afghanistan.Throughout its ten episodes, we see the mundane (soldiers setting up their bunks, playing soccer, getting in snowball fights, Jeremy Stein losing the robot challenge), the average (hours of quiet and rote missions, interpersonal conflicts, military service members ingratiating themselves with the general population, Chase Holzhauer growing up), and the extraordinary (Ricky Thibeault saving the lives of eight wounded servicemen while RPGs and bullets fly over his head, unexpected explosions and the resultant tensions amongst the crew, and the general feeling of despair--but at the same time a necessarily eternal optimism--some of the team expresses). This series is as close (thankfully) as I'll ever get to Afghanistan, but I am grateful to have seen the episodes, as they serve to put some of the more insignificant details in my life in perspective. (Watching shoppers complain about Black Friday deals never seemed so unimportant as it did the day after I watched an episode of Bomb Patrol: Afghanistan). Do yourself a favor and watch this gripping tale. You'll appreciate learning something about the relentlessness and capacity of the human will.

dariusathill A good show with great quality footage but unlike other reviews I've read I do not feel the sense of suspense or worry when I watch it. I think this is for several reasons. Although Navy EOD are meant to be an an elite unit of sorts both team leaders are clearly overweight. Ricky Thibeault also seems extremely immature and slightly unprofessional due to his lack of communication with his team and the awkwardness he creates with them by making himself somewhat of an outcast instead of a leader figure.When I watched this I was expecting a lot of people walking up to bombs and cutting the right wires like I have seen on British documentaries but for the majority of the show they are in their armoured vehicle trying to drive around the EOD Robot and failing a lot of the time. I guess it is standard procedure but it is not that exciting to watch although it is definitely the sensible option.I think due to the fact that the documentary was filmed recently and its location was Northern Afghanistan means it is not as action packed as it would have been if it had been filmed a few years ago in Helmand for example.I am being extremely critical however and it is still an enjoyable documentary series on EOD operators.
