It's like a Colorforms version of Homeland, with cardboard heroes executing impossible missions while implacable boss lady Anne Heche delivers pompously obvious directives.September 20, 2017
The opening hour ends with an unexpected, big boom of a cliffhanger designed to bring viewers back for more. In that it's unique. Otherwise The Brave is broad-stroked and pro forma in highly volatile times both at home and abroad.September 26, 2017
There are so many other procedurals out there, why not have one about the military? We have the greatest military in the world, and we should celebrate them every chance we get.September 26, 2017
Nothing about the first episode makes us think The Brave is any different than most case-of-the-week fare built for mass appeal.September 26, 2017
... the stories are well told, and the cast, which is both diverse and well-rounded, makes them feel more believable.September 25, 2017
... it's not my preferred form of escapism; for others, it will get the job done.September 25, 2017
While the weekly missions will no doubt offer some white-knuckle situations putting all the characters in jeopardy, what's the point if we aren't made to immediately care about any of them?September 25, 2017
There's no sophistication in the treatment of geopolitics or the wars in the Middle East, its characters are bland, and even the action sequences have nothing special to set them apart.September 25, 2017
Capable enough time-killer, but nothing compelling.September 25, 2017
As a mission-of-the-week show, The Brave is serviceable but doesn't offer anything new.
