a5c7b9f00b The Long Road Home tells the story of the eight-hour battle in Sadr City on April 4, 2004, that followed the ambush of a newly-arrived American platoon. Told in real time through the eyes of untested soldiers in combat for the first time, their families anxiously awaiting news on the home front, and ordinary Iraqis trapped in the chaos of war, the series gives viewers an intimate and unforgettable portrait of what it's really like to go to war. Based on Martha Raddatz's acclaimed New York Times-bestselling book. American forces occupying Iraq are ambushed in a Baghdad neighborhood. The drama is okey, acting not great. the fire fights are really bad. I was looking forward to this new series, being an avid war story fan. But what a disappointment. <br/><br/>There have been a number of very good mini TV series form the US over the past few years that have taken bold steps to try and show the rest of the world that the film industry can shake off this old Hollywood stereotypical view of America but this is not one of them. The characters in this first episode might as well have walked around for the first half hour waving the star spangled banner and eating apple pie because not one of them came across as being real. And the story is so predictable that I found myself searching the filming location on IMDb because it had lost my interest.<br/><br/>Needless to say I wont be watching the next episode.
