More Catch-22: Miniseries Videos 1:00 Catch-22: Season 1 Teaser 1:36 Catch-22: Limited Series Trailer View All Videos (2) Tv Season Info Based on Joseph Heller's seminal novel of the same name, Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Christopher Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he'll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.

More Critic Reviews for Catch-22 Miniseries All Critics (38) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (32) | Rotten (6) [George] Clooney and company have tried their utmost to navigate the swervy Catch-22. And they fare better than the movie did without fully sticking the landing. Then again, who could? Bronze stars to all. May 17, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic For a series that gradually loses its sharpness in its commentary on power and masculinity in wartime, Abbott's performance constantly reminds you of what's so great about Heller's book. May 16, 2019 | Full Review… Nick Allen RogerEbert.com Top Critic As a period piece with universal refrains, it has a lot going for it. May 15, 2019 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Catch-22 isn't quite wild enough to join TV's elite satires or sharp enough to leave a mark as lasting as its source material. But it has its moments, and those moments add up to an entrancing experience. May 8, 2019 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Catch-22 might not be an especially devoted adaptation of its source material, but where it distinguishes itself as an update of merit is in its lead performance. May 17, 2019 | Full Review… Dominick Suzanne-Mayer Consequence of Sound [George Clooney] is fabulous as the knee-jerk commander. May 17, 2019 | Full Review… Anne Brodie What She Said Hulu's Catch-22 is considerably more linear than Heller's original novel, but not in a way that sacrifices the anti-bureaucracy-and antistupidity-message. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 8.9/10 | Full Review… Amy Glynn Paste Magazine It's a noble effort. May 17, 2019 | Full Review… Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com Without it, the antiwar and anti-authoritarian themes don't register with any real force. Apparently the Catch-22 of "Catch-22" is that to put it onscreen, you have to eviscerate it. May 19, 2019 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times Top Critic It does a brilliant job of capturing the absurdity, comedy and horror of war. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
