![]() ![]() Don't forget that both are inspired from books by different authors! I mean sure, the story is similar to Without Remorse because government conspiracy but at the same time this one is more focused on PTSD while the other is more about insensitivity to violence. I think his family getting killed was a good motive for the character to do everything he did. They didn't want him to survive the attack by the Sicarios. He breaks, kills his family, goes to his appointment but can't go through with it, kills the doctors and commits suicide. That way the story is simply "Veteran comes home with PTSD after his whole platoon is massacred. Their plans was to kill the wife and daughter and then kill him at the clinic and make it look like a suicide. Or the guitar that turned into a rifle perfect representation to me. You're at home, then a trigger happens and while you're still in your living room, when you turn around it's a battlefield behind you. ![]() And for the flashbacks, I actually had written a brief draft for a movie where a character has PTSD and those transitions between life and memories is *exactly* how I imagined them. Numbers = your paragraphs so it's easier to readįor the time jumps I only remember the "15 hours earlier" before Pillar and Howard. That would have been very profound.Īlso, they say him and the others were given brain tumors, im no medical expert, how is one given a brain tumor? Wouldnt it have been a good ending of he had shown mercy on one of these people, rather than just killing them all. ![]() Okay, so the guy wanted a tonne of money. Umm why didnt he just kill the guy in his sleep, like the first person that was investigating him? Why do in the city which he could have died and ended the series right there and then.įinally why did he kill his best friend at the end. One of the things i didnt like was, he is a Navy Seal, so beaing stealthy would be what he is all about, but he uses an explosive device in broad daylight to kill the CEO guy? And the explosive didnt even kill the guy, wtf? Wouldnt that explosion in that SUV have killed everyone? I hate when in movies and shows they have someone's family be killed liike in Law Abiding Citizen.Īt the end of the day, is this just a series version of the revenge flick? ALso, it it a blatant rip off, of the Prime film Without Remorse, released a year earlier? Better yet, how good would it have been if later in the series its revealed he had them leave and they were safe and well, and he just forgot about where they were due to his poor memory. Would the story have been a lot better if his family had not been killed, then we wouldnt have needed all those flashbacks. After all if that had been me, and people had killed off my comrades, i definitely wouldnt investigate it, but i dont think i'd do the things he did, unless my family had been killed. ![]() The second thing i really hated about the series was why did they have to have his wife and daughter killed? Was that just so he had a reason to go after all these people. The things i didnt like were all the constant flashbacks and time jumps. I thought it was both good and not so good. And you'll see the results of that on the screen.I just watched the entire series. And so we had this trust, and then we started to build out this cast and crew and writers room, and that trust really flowed through everything that we did. And we've really formed this team that reminded me of what it was like to be back in the SEAL teams, and it was all based on trust because trust in battlefield leadership or just leadership in general, trust is that most important attribute up and down the chain of command. As soon as he came on board as showrunner, we had a great conversation in December of 2019, and we've talked pretty much every day since, to include this morning. Because it was Chris, because it was Antoine, they wanted me involved from the get‑go. That was always my intention, and a lot of times, though, in Hollywood, they like to get rid of the author right away because they don't want the author on set saying, "You ruined my vision," and it just becomes a thing, so usually, the author to the side. CARR: That was 100 percent my intention from my earliest days was to write something that would hit The New York Times list, have an A‑list actor, would, of course, option it, and the best director out there would, of course, direct it. ![]()
