- Now streaming after its October 9 debut, the eight-episode dramedy is adapted from Greg Cope White’s memoir The Pink Marine and set during Marine boot camp in 1990.
- Miles Heizer leads the cast, with Max Parker earning standout notices as a drill instructor, and the ensemble features largely lesser-known actors.
- The series holds a 91% critics score and 85% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and has been certified fresh, coinciding with a quick rise to No. 3 on Netflix’s Top 10.
- Netflix has not announced a second season, though cast interviews describe interest in continuing the story if the show is renewed.
- Netflix ordered the show in 2023; filming began that summer, paused after a week due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, resumed in March last year, and wrapped about six months later.
