Why does everything have to be HBO-ified??? Why in gods name would you want to do a
straight
telling of the
plot
of a book like Catch 22!? Not only is this completely devoid of humor, it squashes all absurdism, satire, cynicism and anxiety-riddled confusion for a bland linear retelling and 1940s nostalgia pop soundtrack. They just don't world build at all besides the yellow 'Italian' wash over everything... they introduce characters one by one and kill them off one by one in the order they introduced them. There's zero tension and zero point and that this series ends literally riding off into the sunset is such a let down.
I could go on and on but the best example…

Episode six is the best depiction of war in cinema history. Catch 22 is a notoriously difficult novel to adapt to film, but this is genuinely brilliant

Deeply heartbreaking, hilarious, way too real.

Why does everything have to be HBO-ified??? Why in gods name would you want to do a *straight* telling of the *plot* of a book like Catch 22!? Not only is this completely devoid of humor, it squashes all absurdism, satire, cynicism and anxiety-riddled confusion for a bland linear retelling and 1940s nostalgia pop soundtrack. They just don't world build at all besides the yellow 'Italian' wash over everything... they introduce characters one by one and kill them off one by one in the order they introduced them. There's zero tension and zero point and that this series ends literally riding off into the sunset is such a let down.

*This review may contain spoilers. [I can handle the truth.](https://letterboxd.com/film/catch-22-2019/)*
There is never any reason to show a graphic rape scene on screen. There is *always* room for implication.
It can keep my star rating but lost my like. So take that\!

Episode six is the best depiction of war in cinema history. Catch 22 is a notoriously difficult novel to adapt to film, but this is genuinely brilliant
