Have any of you American viewers seen this show yet?

I've been watching the past few episodes and find it to be absolutely fascinating, due to the fact that it gives such an in depth look at what it takes to run a naval aircraft carrier, and how the experiences on board impact the personnel.

A really excellent series.  Wink

Caught the trailer Sunday afternoon and have been glued to PBS every night this week.

I'm watching it right now Smiley It's nice that they show it twice in one evening it as I was out of the house for a couple of hours.

I agree that it's an excellent series.

Et moi, aussi (but on NH channel 11). I'd clicked past it and did a quick reversal.
I've also been watching Battle 360, WW2, USS Enterprise.



Cool

Is it coming onto TV in the UK? (Preferably Sky)

Though, full eps are on that site so I can watch them there. I saw the first episode and it was great. A nice big insight indeed.

Yeah, really good stuff.  On all week, been catching bits and pieces of it.   The interviews with personnel are candid, they speak their minds pro and con, so you get a good sample of what they're thinking and how they relate to what they're doing.  So catch this series if you can, definitely worth a watching.
