Catch 22 series

[peterkro]

Great, managed to watch episode C4 on catch up.

I do like it, love Milo Minderbender whose syndicate is starting to take shape, it was a syndicate yes? And I recall Major Major Major very well from the book! If I am in I don't want to see anyone but if I am out I will see people

In mentioning it to people I am surprised - not of people who haven't read the book although there are plenty of those - but with the number of people who have never heard of the phrase "Catch 22" - I really thought that phrase had entered the lexicon but apparently not.

Minderbinder.

Isn't it bothering anyone else that Yosarian is being called YoYo most of the time?
Yosarian too foreign sounding for audiences?!

Last episode felt a bit rushed, cramming many of the key parts of the story into its final half hour. Overall, the series was entertaining enough but unlikely to mean much to anyone who hasn't read the book or add anything new for those who have. The best bits, like

Spoiler

the old brothel keeper's monologue

were copied verbatim from the book and/or the movie.

Like a number of other scenes, the build-up to that was a gruelling watch for those of us who knew what was about to happen.
