      Miniseries – Catch-22

      2019 History Drama War TRAILER for Catch-22: Limited Series Trailer List
      84% 90 Reviews Tomatometer 81% 250+ Ratings Audience Score Artful dodger Yossarian is a bombardier in the U.S. Air Force during World War II who is upset that thousands of people who he has never met are trying to kill him. His biggest problem isn't the enemy, though, it's his own army that keeps increasing the number of missions soldiers must fly in order to complete their service. And if Yossarian tries to make an attempt to avoid his assignments, he will be in violation of catch-22, a bureaucratic rule that states a man is considered insane if he willing continues to fly dangerous missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and makes him ineligible to be relieved of his duty. Oscar winner George Clooney serves as an executive producer of the six-episode series, which is based on the 1961 novel by Joseph Heller.

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Though not quite as sharp as Joseph Heller's seminal novel, Catch-22's handsomely rendered, hilariously horrifying exploration of war still soars thanks to its stellar cast and reverent adherence to its source material.

      Movie G I stumbled upon this masterpiece when searching for a documentary about ww2, though this isn't a documentary this was a great show. This show became like a drug and made me addicted to it, every episode made me want to watch the next one. The story based on the book was made into film wonderfully, the enviroment and the music fitted the shows vibe fantastically. I definitely recomend you to watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 6 television mini-series episodes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Ysthafell G The 1970 movie was much better. It had a great cast, script and wonderful flying sequences. The remake was like a bad 1960's sitcom with the laugh track removed. Renaming 'Yossarian' Yo-Yo' was not a good idea either. I guess the rave reviews for the remake have come from people who've never seen the Alan Arkin original. Buck Henry and Mike Nichols knew what they were doing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/23 Full Review Randy W Extremely well done, true to the source material with outstanding realism and acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member If they tried to just directly translate the book to screen it probably would have been a disaster. Instead they told the story in a more linear fashion and more often than not, managed to capture the heart of the story. Much of the series was shot in Sardinia and using actual surviving B-25 bombers and it paid off, the series is gorgeous. The cast, from top to bottom, is wonderful although I wish they had given Hugh Laurie a little more to do. Abbot steals the show as Yossarian, though, delivering a truly standout and memorable performance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review luke s Fantastic adaption of the book - great cast, beautifully shoot, good pacing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Stuart Heritage Guardian It is beautifully shot, thoughtfully written and incredibly well acted. Nov 25, 2019 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian It looks great - the arid palette relived occasionally by the blue of the Italian coast as the men swim between raids - and the cast is top flight. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2019 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto [Christopher] Abbott's rueful performance lends Catch-22 its weight. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2019 Full Review Catherine Springer AwardsWatch What moved me the most about this story is the inherent sense of hope that lies buried below the layers of cynicism. War most certainly is hell, but surviving it just may be the path to our humanity. Rated: 3/4 Jan 25, 2020 Full Review Neal Pollack Book & Film Globe This show feels very Masterpiece-like, with adaptation flop-sweat leaking off every scene. We watch it dutifully, because it's supposed to be important. Nov 25, 2019 Full Review Miranda Collinge Esquire Magazine If there is a criticism to be made of the series generally it is that it is more comfortable in the humorous registers than in the sombre, where it sometimes relies too heavily on the score to do the work.
