Madden S Enjoyed the insight provided by the rangers and delta force members. The most controversial part of the doc for many viewers will be the perspective provided by the militia members. Like others, I found it hard to take in their POV but overall it's worth watching to get a real sense of what happened with the brutality of the fubar that unfolded. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Michael W This war docuseries was very good. The entire crew did an excellent job on telling the story of the Battle of Mogadishu in Somalia. It was very intense, dramatic, and shocking to see actual footage of what happened there. If you haven't seen this docuseries yet, check it out sometime. It's a definite must see. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review Anvil F Netfix really stretched out this limited series to 3 episodes. They replayed the same footage over and over again. Supposedly a Somali cameraman filmed alot of war footage but Netflix didnt show much. With the lack of footage this series had, it could have been done in 2 episodes (maybe 1 episode). Netflix really milks you on this one! 😆 Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/25 Full Review David R As a person who had relatives there, the videos of the Samolians glorifying the killing of Americans made me sick to the point that I stopped watching it about half way through the 2nd episode. The American force was only there to remove a genocidal warlord from power. The aid being brought in by the UN was being stolen from the people who were starving by the allies of said warlord. 🖕 Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/25 Full Review Tim M Seen several documentaries about this event. This does not go into very much detail for it being a three episode series. I was hoping for so much more about the decision making that went into the mission and limitations and why. It didn't go into detail about the 10th mountain and Malaysian military with their issues getting to the crash site. The Somalian interviews didn't add much information only took up time that could have went into more facts. The only two that added anything were the cameraman and the family whose house was being used by the Rangers and Delta. If the UN had not intervened millions would have died the warlords are responsible for all the dearh that happened. This documentary could have been a lot better by using more actual footage that exists. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Carson L Kindaaa boring. No real impactful overarching theme. Drawn out. Repetitive. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
