GamerTab That was an excellent one.

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

winstonfg I'd classify this show as a bit like 'the FBI' - solid, unchallenging entertainment for the most part, that falls just short of propaganda for the armed forces; but which I'm quite sure has (or had) its wholehearted support.But to simply label it as "forces-friendly" is to do it a disservice. The cast is very good and, from time to time, the show served up an *excellent* episode - usually based around a single person - that deals with important issues. One such is "King of the Fleas" (season 3, episode 5).The rest of the "Top Gun" stuff I can take or leave, and I suspect was more directed to it's "family" target demographic than a hoary old sceptic like me; but I guess it takes all sorts.And for the pleasure of watching Catherine Bell in uniform, I can take a bit of propaganda.

char_lo Yup...JAG, it's a good concept turning bad. As far as I know the acting is overall correct, if not good. The story are not surprising : a trial and an investigation in the US Army. The characters are interesting and you feel compelled to follow their live. Even the Soap don't bothered me as I think a little soap in any show isn't bad,maybe even unavoidable. Technically, the show is far from the worse I've seen, and is, in fact, rather good. So, why 4 star only ?It's because somewhere, this show has become a vehicle for US army propaganda. When the show isn't saying' bad thing over foreigner, be they Middle-Easterner, Chinese, Russian or other, it's the American civilian that receive the burn of the culpability, or some minor religion (Wicca church episode, here we go !)Sometimes, VERY RARELY, we have a deserter, but essentially, this show turn to show (duh !) how brave and perfect are the men and women that make the US Army.Don't get me wrong, most of them probably are, but it's just exaggerated and it's there when the show just loose all credibility. This is done very blatantly sometimes, and other, in very devious way...Yeah, truly, I don't need to see a 30-45 minute recruitment trailer for US Army once per week. More of that, it's just offensive for all foreigner and even American civilian. (Just check how the navy save the face in the Pearl Harbor episode, how my !)So, I recommend to any viewer of this show to keep their brain active while watching it.

imdb-pete_l This is a comfort-food style series. You know before it starts that the good guys will be good and the bad guys, bad. There's no ambiguity and no thinking is needed - as there are never any mis-carriages of justice, nor any loopholes to get guilty people off. The main guy always wins his cases, no matter what's involved. All the military characters are completely predictable and stay well within their rather limited roles. In general they are all portrayed as focused, compulsive and driven: going to any extreme to uncover justice. The shows are based around "our military heroes" who seem to have the ability to execute US military law wherever they happen to be in the world.

mickbina This series can be watched over and over again, and each time new details are seen. The actual shots of real naval operations are blended into the fictional story very well. Characters were built over a period of time to be believable. One week point - would a bumbling, naive over aged teenager like Bud Roberts ever have made Lt Commander in the USN? One certainly hopes not! Sympathy for his injury and battle to regain his mobility, plus appreciation for his personal life tragedies are one thing, but I feel his career skills , general usefulness to JAG and continued immaturity would deny such a promotion in the real world. The appearance of President Bill Clinton in several episodes was a real coup for the producers of the show - I enjoyed the scene where a chopper came to pick up Rabb when he was jogging in the vicinity of the Pres and his secret service guards. All in all, a really enjoyable series and I am glad that History Television in Canada is running it on an never ending cycle through all ten years of episodes.
