The Code (2019)
6/10
Not bad... could be better... uniform and rank problems.
9 April 2019
As has been mentioned before, this show seems like a JAG reboot. Which is ok, since that show went away many years ago. Story was good, acting is ok. My big problem was uniform mistakes. In the 3rd scene where "Abe" request to prosecute the case. He is wearing the MC dress blue uniform, or more commonly known as "blues". One of the junior officers in the room asks him " What's with the clothes?!" No Marine would EVER say that. The Marine Corps dress blue uniform is a cornerstone of who the Marine Corps is. She would have said "Why are you in your blues?!" The other big mistake was the Base Surgeon's uniform. The Navy's officer blue uniform is adorned with gold bands around the lower portion of the sleeve. They kept addressing the accused as "Commander", O-4 grade, which is equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel in all the other US branches of service. However he was wearing 2 gold bands which is equivalent to O-2 grade, Lieutenant (Navy)/Captain (all others). An actual Commander would have 3 gold bands not 2. Hopefully they'll improve the show by hiring a military technical advisor, to fix these problems.
