Beautiful, moving film.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

I forget whether a "wise" person once said to believe or disbelieve 2 implausible things before lunch, but the strain on one's credibility in this series does become too heavy a weight.The initial "shock" of believing a US corporation made a deal with terrorists is hardly a shock; that hardly puts any tax on one's credibility. That a paramilitary company is used for "off-book" activities is likewise no harder to swallow than milk to a child. A general's collusion is more difficult, and far too many "evildoers" acting with impunity and no fear of consequences is a bit of a stretch, however.Aside from Ms. Friel, who is more than equal to her role, the rest of the cast occasionally finds it hard to sell the dialogue the writers gave them (unless the editing is simply worse than it seemed - hardly award-winning by itself). They did a lot of things right, however. The essence of the plot was good, flipping through various languages for a series that stretches through 3 continents was something we need to see done an awful lot more, and they kept the pacing nicely even, and the narrative of the three separate stories lucid (for the most part). Worth watching if your expectations aren't too high.

As an American with a realistic view of the dulling of my culture by corporate media (Comcast's NBC-Universal in this case), I was still stunned by the level of absolute stupidity in this production. The writing is abysmal. Forced coincidence. Characters who are outright stupid. A nauseating sound track. Child characters who are much smarter than any adult character. The 'smart' lawyer who is shocked when his key witness gets killed by dark forces. The key whistle-blower who walks to a meeting with a government prosecutor in full uniform in the middle of the day and doesn't even use a crosswalk to cross a Manhattan street. The same lawyer shows off his extra-covert evidence to a suspect colleague and is then shocked when betrayed. The son of a renowned journalist who never asks an a undercover assassin for her press credentials and tells her every secret. The escaped soldier who cannot even pretend to be a deaf mute and makes her first phone call in safety to the commander who obviously set her up. Was this script submitted as a high school homework assignment? Even the violence is done badly. A wall of a small room explodes and manages to kill one person who happens to be the bad guy. The paramilitary bad guys appear instantly and are met with no resistance or suspicion by trained military personnel. The escaped soldier is miraculously saved over and over again with everyone around her dropping like flies. This series is a prime example of how conglomerates destroy truth in art and in media. The twisted melding of propaganda and reality perverted for mob entertainment produces crap like this every time.

American Odissey was a great surprise for me. Initially I didn't think it could be an extraordinary series. I thought it would be a ordinary one. But as long as the story advance it become more and more exciting and interesting. Everything is going to be conect and it is impossible not to wait for the next episode. Wait a whole week to see what is going to happens was something really disstressful. Some moments really take my breath away and let me exciting. There are no moments of peace during the story goes. Final episode is really good and let me wanting a second season. But I don't think a second one could be as good as the first. And maybe trying to keep going with the story could make it tiring.

Lower your expectations and you will always be happier. Come on this is a TV series and forget how outlandish or technically incorrect it is at times. If you distrust our government in some of the things it does let it be your X file. " The truth is out there" according to agent M. Do you believe that huge corporations could benefit from war? Do you believe that the U.S. would favor certain terrorists if it meant a Senator or CEO could make a hefty bundle? If you answered yes this show is great. It makes you really believe that the show is dishing out real world dirty underwear and pushing the political envelope. It might make you think some of this is true. I loved the cast, settings,the run, talk, shoot, drive and tension it produces. Maybe it created too much tension therefore I do not believe they will get another season.
