Critic Reviews for Valor Season 1
All Critics (19) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (15)
This all probably sounds ridiculous, and pretty much is.
The CW has the dull Valor, a show thin in acting and thinner in production values.
Valor doesn't have the same level of quality on almost any level as its competitors, which is a shame. But it does have a unique point of view and a more focused story to tell.
One of the most notable trends for fall TV can be found in a wave of dramas about military life, and the CW enters the fray with Valor. But this kind of show on this network ends up being an awkward fit all around.
If Valor lacks one thing-and it lacks plenty of things-it's insight. To tell a familiar story is no crime; to do it in a lackluster way isn't either.
It's always been a thing to make fun of The CW as a network of gratuitously pretty people, but I've rarely felt it drain a show as much as Valor.
I don't love the show, but I love what it wants to be and has the potential to be.
So Valor quickly becomes about secrets and lies, guilt and bravery, and hot bodies and awful banter. It's not the best mix, and not mixed the best way.
Valor is overblown, badly cast, horribly filmed and my candidate for Worst New Show of Fall 2017.
It's an intriguing conspiracy thriller with some painful observations on modern warfare that may take much of the The CW's youthful audience by surprise.
... what I like about Valor (and that sets it apart from fall's many other military dramas) is it's female-led.
The CW should stick to superheroes and shows like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Jane the Virgin...or do a military drama right.
Audience Reviews for Valor: Season 1

6d agoThis show is AMAZING! There is a strong female role, and it shows multiple ways the military impacts lives. There are things that are cliché and a bit ridiculous. Although, given these issues I strongly believe this show could take off if given the chance. I never write reviews but, the fact that this show was not been renewed pushed me to do it. My hope is to get it enough views so that they reconsider making a second season.

Aug 03, 2020It's leads were strong and the story engaging. I was interested to see where a 2nd season would have gone.

Sep 01, 2019Valor grows on you. By the end of season 1 you wish it had been renewed for a second season. The sexual tension between characters is more dangerous than bullets.

Mar 13, 2018I really liked valor. the players fit well and for once the producers put together uniforms, equipment and language very similar to what life inside the military is. the grooming standards are a reach. but there are enough pieces to make this a great series. most low budget shows will utilize a uh-1 instead of a uh-60. the plot wasn't the greatest, but as i said there are enough pieces and players which will keep us entertained.

Mar 12, 2018An engaging blend of comeraderie, bravery, intricate relationships and action, Valor is a must see for a wide range of audiences. It captures fans of military drama, thrillers, romance, action and melodrama. I loved the story line and the way the characters evolved throughout the season, and i cannot wait for more. The show manages to portray a feminist outlook that also dispels and condemns racism and discrimination. Season 1 did a great job and yet as most shows do, it ended on a cliffhanger. Here's hoping the show gets renewed and that you give it a shot(pun intended).

Feb 16, 2018The show creators didn't even attempt to learn anything about the military. What a horrible show.
