Catch-22 - Season 1
A dramatic series tells the events of World War II. The series revolves around Yossarian and his friends who train to become flyers in California before moving to an Air Force base on Italian island of Bianusa. There appear to be nineteen risky missions later, as Yossarian hopes to complete his mission and go home. There is a new colonel who takes the lead and immediately increases the share of the task, as Yossarian realizes there are new developments.

Where it strikes off on its own, whether in dialogue or wholly new scenes, it tends to get obvious and flat.

As a period piece with universal refrains, it has a lot going for it.

It's all legitimately terrifying, and not the slightest bit funny. That's what makes it hilarious. That's what still makes Catch-22 necessary.

I like what they've done with it here overall. It may not be crammed full to bursting with amazing comic actors, the way Nichols' half-right movie was. It's softer, I guess. But it's not soft-headed.

It's no small feat, then, that the series turns out to be so entertaining but also a worthy adaptation of Heller's novel.

For a series that gradually loses its sharpness in its commentary on power and masculinity in wartime, Abbott's performance constantly reminds you of what's so great about Heller's book.

Catch-22 isn't quite wild enough to join TV's elite satires or sharp enough to leave a mark as lasting as its source material. But it has its moments, and those moments add up to an entrancing experience.

It does a brilliant job of capturing the absurdity, comedy and horror of war. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.
May 16, 2019
Retains Heller's caustic wit and righteous anger.

This adaptation twists the knife in a way that would make Heller proud.
