It's sad to see so many one-star reviews from military members and others who clearly can't stand having strong, female leads. This is a fictional show, people. It's made for entertainment. It's not going to get everything about the military exactly right, and it's clearly not pretending to. Do iyou think Yellowstone is an exact portrayal of ranch life? Definitely not. No need to be so easily offended about it. We don't see ranchers up in arms over the dramatization over their industry. For those offended by the language, violence, and nudity, have you ever seen Taylor Sheridan's shows? Lol
While I do find the writing around De Oliveria's character severely flawed, it's clearly done so they can speed through laying the groundwork for the show.
Saldana is a power lead, and I'm loving every minute of it. Her character's relationship with Annable is well written, and it's nice to see how two flawed people navigate a very completed relationship with demanding careers.
Overall, the characters are likable and well developed, though with some gaps from the writers. There's a great balance of dialog and action and some really great fight and chase scenes.
Is it 100% realistic? Of course not. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy the show. It's great!
