Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe name of George Clooney's character is Scheisskopf. In German, "kopf" means "head" (in both the anatomical and hierarchical senses) and "scheiss" is a vulgarism meaning "feces" (and having the same colloquial meaning as the English word "shit"). So translated literally, "Scheisskopf" means "shithead," though that exact insult doesn't exist in German.
Featured review
As faithful an adaptation one could hope for.
Making a direct adaptation of any novel is next to impossible, and even more so with Catch-22. That being said, as someone who loves the book and has read it multiple times, I'm incredibly pleased with this series. George Clooneys direction has a very coen brothers feel, and I think goes well with the overall tone of the book, and makes for a great show.
