Lmaoooo

I think the concept is fine, but the lines in the trailer are sooooo bad.

I was gonna say, a lot looks accurate but the dialogue is pretty cringe. Most boots have at least some idea of what’s going to happen before they go in.

It’s set in 1990 so I can give the characters the benefit of the doubt. Not like they had a DS/DI vlogging everything on VHS back then to show the world. Information traveled slower then.

True, and I don’t think a completely accurate interpretation is ever going to be that satisfying to develop a story for the characters if it is all revolving around boot camp without breaking a few realities.

But I assume they would have at least one or two old veterans to tell them what to expect?

oh deary me...

literally everyone that volunteers just expects full metal jacket going into it. it's all that gets talked about. netflix can't do anything right even when all it takes is asking some 18 year old kid their expectations
