68 Whiskey moves confidently into the small but mighty clique of military comedies that balance the absurdist tragedy of war with the intense emotional bonds and improvised code of ethics on the front lines. ... Chalk up another win for the new kid on cable's block.
“68 Whiskey” won’t make anyone forget “M*A*S*H” — or even “Catch-22,” for that matter — but it tries hard to provide at least a taste of what life is like in a modern-day war zone fraught with lurking danger and, at times, death.

Fun show to watch and interesting characters but thing is how believable is what happens in this show. It depicts a medical corps at a small base in Afghanistan and in one scene three servicemen sign out an ambulance without anyone's approval and attempt to trade medical supplies for hashish. How realistic is that?
But if you are looking for an entertaining show that is another winner for the Paramount Network then 68 Whiskey will deliver.
Report
SEASON 1
There are so many decent and occasionally provocative dynamics to play out between these characters, and with a few native Afghani characters, that it becomes increasingly frustrating that 68 Whiskey, despite being a show with apparent swagger, has so little confidence in itself.
The pilot doesn’t even really play into the absurdity of war a la “Catch-22.” It’s unclear what “68 Whiskey” is trying to do but whatever it is, it’s not doing it well.
Have to agree with a lot of what others are saying about the show. I really wished it had taken a better or a more subtle approach with how the military is portrayed.
