It’s a military drama with a twist

You know what goes on in the civilian courts and you’ve seen the military police or action dramas. What you haven’t seen is out the military courts work. This is a chance to see something very different.

On the surface, it looks like just your standard military drama, but there’s far more. This is a chance to learn something new and see another side to the military, a side that isn’t usually discussed. You’ll get a chance to see how these Marines can serve their country while also protecting each other.

It’s a strong cast

I’ll just mention the name Dana Delaney first. She plays Colonel Glenn Turnbull in the series and you’ll know her from so many more shows. She doesn’t get too much attention in the trailer, but she’s a force to be reckoned with.

However, it’s not all about Delaney. Mitchell takes on the lead and instantly brings confidence and command to the role. Anna Wood, Ato Essandoh, and Raffi Barsoumian are also among the cast. You may not recognize everyone immediately, but they’ll become names you want to remember after just the pilot episode.

While a strong cast, it’s also a diverse cast. If you’re ready for CBS to be more inclusive, this is another show you want to support.
