One caveat: It's violent and grim at the start; you spend a lot of time watching soldiers getting betrayed and killed and then seeing Chris Pratt's character dealing with the aftermath. I had to shut it down because it was just making me feel miserable. I'll start it up again in a few days; the later parts of the movie are top-notch by all accounts and I really enjoy Antoine Fuqua's work (Shooter, for instance).
I didn't know shooter was Antoine fuqua. It was a great show, expect the last season had some issues, and the ending was pure shit. Maybe this show will make up for it. Lots of similarities
IDK if Fuqua is involved at all in the Shooter TV Series -- his name didn't show up in the few places I checked -- but he directed the excellent film. I've not seen the series -- and I'm not really a fan of Ryan Phillipe -- but the movie, as I said, is excellent and Mark Wahlberg and the rest of the cast are terrific.
Ahh, I didn't know he did the movie and not the show. I liked the movie. Wahlberg was involved in the show, which was cool. It was good, if you're interested but the last season ruins it.

I'll check it out and thanks for the tip about the last season.
Watch until the end of season 3 episode 1 and leave it there, I say.
