The miniseries premiered on National Geographic on November 7, Maureen Ryan writing for Variety gave the show a mixed review pointing out some strengths but perceiving it to be painful to watch and propagandistic in tone at times with major weaknesses throughout. She lauds the show's success at depicting the logistics of war and creating empathy for American soldiers and the ethical choices they were faced with during their missions in the US Invasion of Iraq. She however finds that these intimate psychological portrayals of extreme situations lack well written characterisations of the protagonists one is made to empathise with, though she does laud the actors for their performances of these roles finding the fault in the writing of the show.
