We are who we are... HBO Max

[Guest MikeThomas]

Anyone watching this show? Pretty hot shower scene 16 minutes in during S1E1.

Yes but I’m underwhelmed. The main character in Call Me By Your Name had a personality. Yet to see any in Fraser.

It's not especially compelling, however, these are the kids who will be taking care of us someday, so we better study up.

Haven’t got beyond E1... but would for more naked soldiers.

"We are who we are" concerning an American military base overseas is a good idea, not sure it is working. The male nudity is realistic. I was in the Army for two years in the late 1960s.

I worked three separate AFRCs when I was very young. They are a unique group, young Americans living in another country, housed in a facsimile of a home country they rarely, if ever, see.

 

It's a strange choice for a TV show.

Ok, I just watched the finale. Have to tell you I really enjoyed this show. The “coming of age” script, the music (wonderful!), and Luca Guadagnino’s directing, excellent all around. The “army base” was completely built as a set on 17 acres of land in Italy. Good job all around. Oh, and teenagers acting/playing teenagers...a nice change from the twenty-something actors usually playing those teen roles.

Episode 1 had a hot shower scene. Anymore naked soldiers in subsequent episodes?

I really enjoyed it. The finale had some nice kissing scenes; very sweet, tender. Great acting by the young’uns. The music was awesome.

I enjoyed the show. it was obvious that the producer took a different approach to tell this wonderfully complicated story of self-discovery.

I have only made it through episode 5, but you may want to check out episode 4, where the majority of the nudity in a couple of scenes is male.

When I watched the first episode I just couldn't stop thinking how entitled these kids are. I worked for the US Military in Europe in the early '90s and had a lot of interaction with the Army Brats, they never would have behaved so openly disrespectfully.

 

But, I have to remember, if I go back to the show, that it is FICTION. Ha ha. And also times and children have changed.
