| Boilerpipe Text | One of the best books of the Twentieth Century. Full of bite and venom and the absurdity of war. In this first of six episodes, we are introduced to the principle characters. Yossarian, of course, is the central figure in all this. He flies bombing missions and is ready to be finished, but he Army continues to up the ante (the number of missions). We meet the shysters, the doctor, and a host of others that will figure prominently in this epic. So far the most impressive things are the squadron flying through flack. A nose gunner is obliterated. There is the brass who have no respect for the real fighters, only playing at war and looking good. The old Mike Nichols movie pretty much made hamburger of the book. I'm hoping that this series captures things better. |

[good start](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7979338/reviews/?featured=rw4925156&ref_=tt_ururv_c_1_hd)
It was like a Christmas Eve present . From the first scene, admiring the performance of George Cloony, discovering the old flavor of novel atmosphere and a promising Yossarian. The dialogue, the great manner to propose American postcards and commercials from "50 s are the good ingredient not exactly for a reasonable adaptation - the adaptation of a cult novel can be only a dream - but for a sort of different entertainment, reminding the price of war and the cold cruelty - to absurde- of buracracy.

[It's so bad, you'd be better off spending your time outside](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7979338/reviews/?featured=rw4872620&ref_=tt_ururv_c_2_hd)
Casting is such an important part to whether a movie or tv show is successful, and they made a huge mistake with the lead character. They needed someone with some clout to take on such an iconic role. The fact they chose such a nameless person shows they really didn't think this was worth their time. Don't bother watching this.

- [Trivia](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7979338/trivia/?ref_=tt_dyk_trv)
[George Clooney](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000123/?ref_=dyk_trv) plays Lieutenant Scheisskopf, who was a minor character in the book (although Chapter 8 is named after him). But Lieutenant Scheisskopf is not portrayed in the 1970 motion picture.
- [Goofs](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7979338/goofs/?tab=gf&ref_=tt_dyk_gf)
The aircraft throughout the series are shown flying through 'flak' (anti-aircraft fire). The effective range of most flak at the time was about 30 yards (a sphere of 60 yards diameter), and even a burst around 200 yards away could cause significant damage. However, such explosions within a few feet and even in front and directly in the path of the planes appear to cause little or no damage.
