A random reel or tiktok made me feel a sudden urge to watch this series and I'm glad that I finally finished this. It didn't hit my expectations on this but i'm glad it turned to be the best series I've watched recently. I love the story on this one. I enjoyed the journey of Cam throughout boot camp. A lot of moral lessons to get from this one. I want to salute the brotherhood of the recruits. It reminded me of The Long Walk which I also adore. I love how diverse the characters are which made them very memorable. They have different personalities and I'm glad that they complement each other. The drill instructors were so intense but I'm glad they gave us a glimpse of their life outside their uniforms. Even with bad personalities, I loved all the characters on this series. Ray is the most, down-to-earth, the best guy in the world. I want him so badly. No explanation required. Ochoa was also one of my favorites. He's genuine, kind, and lovable person. He deserves the joy on this world. Sullivan is also a core memory. His character was the most complex but his words of wisdom will always be the best. Overall, this series scratch my heart in ways I couldn't understand. I love it so much I can't find the reason to hate this. This goes to my collection comfort movies/series because watching this feels like hugging a teddy bear.
