Enlisted: Series Recap and Reaction

RIP, Enlisted, RIP. This was the best comedy of the 2013-2014 TV season and FOX never gave it a chance. They aired it on Friday nights and had the episodes out of order, causing confusion amongst the viewers. And that killed me.
It follows three brothers who are in the army, a specific unit, the rear detachment unit, which takes care of stuff at home. Pete (Geoff Stults) is the good soldier having served several tours in Afghanistan, but now, he's home to finish recovering from his injury. Derrick (Chris Lowell) has no purpose in life. Despite being in the army, he has no passion for anything really. He's just in the army because his whole family is in the army. And then there's Randy (Parker Young). He's a sweetheart and means well and has the potential to be a good soldier though he's too soft-hearted for that to be the case. Finishing out the core cast are Angelique Cabral as Jill Perez determined not to let her gender stand in her way of climbing up the ranks in the army and Keith David is great as Donald Cody, in charge on base. He also has a fake foot, which is white because they don't make prosthetics his size in black. The supporting cast is also brilliant as a much of well-meaning losers, with odd habits and likes. One really likes fire, another Lori Laughlin.
The season is rather strong, with only one really weak episode which involves a poop gun and spider-like contraption. But the troops help out with some veterans, plan a parade, have an epic prank war and throw Cody a celebration that he deserves and an epic dance fight and make out session that you could have never seen coming in hilarious fashion. And Pete teaches Randy how to be strong, forcing him to recite the plot line of Toy Story 3 without crying, which he finally does, but Pete realizes that he broke Randy, never a good thing.
The acting is also incredible with everyone creating real characters, flaws and all. I hope that Young manages to earn an Emmy nomination, proving that FOX was wrong in cancelling this show, despite all the critical praise and small cult following.
The show is a comedy and there are many funny scenes and hidden lines, but this show also tackles some serious issues, including the finale where Pete wonders why he has returned home while so many haven't, feeling incredibly guilty about the whole thing. Derrick weighs the consequences of whether or not to date a single mother. Everything is done in such style.
Sometimes the plot lines don't even tie up at the end of the episode, but that's life. It works. Again, I really wish FOX would have given this show a chance, especially after the great reviews it received. Finale: A, Season: A-
