83 / 100

100	Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Philip A. Stephenson Stark and emotionally resonant.
90	Baltimore Sun David Zurawik An illuminating and powerful viewing experience.
80	Kansas City Star R.D. Heldenfels An admirable but short-lived series and makes us wonder what might have been.
80	TVShowsOnDVD.com Gord Lacey People watch TV to escape, but it seems very few people want to escape to an ongoing war, so the ratings suffered. It's a shame because this show was great.
67	digitallyOBSESSED Nate Meyers I applaud its creators for a sincere attempt to shed light on the war, but can't help but feel it missed greatness.
