Audience Reviews for Catch-22: Miniseries

• Oct 27, 2021

  If they tried to just directly translate the book to screen it probably would have been a disaster. Instead they told the story in a more linear fashion and more often than not, managed to capture the heart of the story. Much of the series was shot in Sardinia and using actual surviving B-25 bombers and it paid off, the series is gorgeous. The cast, from top to bottom, is wonderful although I wish they had given Hugh Laurie a little more to do. Abbot steals the show as Yossarian, though, delivering a truly standout and memorable performance.

  Well done! I'm not much of a Clooney fan, but he did a great job with this. Some day, I'll watch it again.

  First, anybody who says it is "true" to the novel is kidding themselves. The series leaves out certain things which are either too dated or too unrealistic to make sense. What some might call sexism that was present in both the novel and the original movie, is gone. But the series is stronger for it. And anyhow, once you've heard Orson Welles say " Get back in the car you smirking slut"..it really can't be topped. The writers here also leave out the form letters on behalf of your wife and/or sweetheart. What they do really, is take the surreal absurdities of the novel and imagine them in believable ways. Cathcart's nice tight bombing runs, for instance, seem like something you might actually hear. By warming up the characters they make the violence so much more effective. McWatt's killing of a fellow soldier and subsequent suicide were just random insanity before, in the movie, and now they are devestating scenes, along with the death of Nately, and Aarfy's murder. In all, the series is beautifully filmed, romantic, moves well, and totally worth watching.

  The mini-series lacked some of the literary humour of the book. But then this isn't a book. The show did have humour. But more importantly, it captured the daily irreverence of soldiers serving in a dysfunctional organisation, and their impotence in changing that system. And it displayed the sobering horrors of war.

  This Hulu miniseries was alright. George Clooney, Christopher Abbott, Kyle Chandler, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this miniseries. The plot to the movie was very dramatic, depressing, and intense. It's about survival and doing whatever it takes to get home. If you haven't seen this miniseries yet, don't waste your time. It's way too depressing to watch. That's what I think anyway.

  While I haven't read the book, the show excites me to get into Joseph Heller's work. The cast is phenomenal. Classic faces encapsulate WWII era vibes. Suspense, satire, scares - it's all there.

  It was nothing spectacular so I did not get past the first DVD. I use the subtitles option on the DVD and it was one of the hardest to read. It was an ugly font they used and barely visible whereas other movies and TV series use a much easier to read subtitles. I have to admit that had a big bearing on this "Meh" review.

  it lacks the black comedy of the book and the original movie.

  What a fantastic mini-series, and I didn't even see much advertisement on it. I'm not really into war movies/tv shows, but this one definitely makes the cut. It really highlights humanity for what it is.
