User Reviews
Turned Out Great!
I have to admit, watching first few episodes, I felt the story line was quite ridiculous. But I kept on watching, cause its not everyday you get a series that's based on Navy, ships and so on. The characters are quite good to keep me kept watching. Adam Baldwin is mainly the reason cause I missed seeing him in action since Chuck. So I watch it right till the end of season 1 and couldn't get enough of it. Very looking forward for season 2! My advice to people who just start watching, watch it till the end of season 1, you'll be writing a glowing review like me too!
