Catch-22 Teaser (Official) • A Hulu Original
Based on the acclaimed Joseph Heller novel, Catch-22 follows the adventures and misadventures of a US air squadron in Italy in World War II. Catch-22 premieres May 17.
More about the series:
Christopher Abbott is Yossarian, a bombardier, whose frantic obsession every time he goes up on a mission is “to come down alive”. His odds of success at such a simple aim keep getting worse, because Colonel Cathcart (Kyle Chandler) keeps raising the number of missions the men have to fly. More than the retreating Germans, the real enemy for Yossarian and his rag-tag bunch of friends is the bureaucracy of the military, inverting logic at every turn. The pinnacle of this is Catch-22, a military by-law which states that if you fly your missions, you’re crazy, and don’t have to fly them; all you have to do is ask. But if you as not to, then you’re sane, and so you have to fly them. George Clooney stars as the barking mad, parade-obsessed Scheisskopf. Hugh Laurie is the mellow, slightly checked-out Major de Coverley. Clooney directs the six-episode series, along with Grant Heslov and Ellen Kuras.
I just read this book but I don't have Hulu. Heck me. I wanna see it.
I'm stoked for this
It's about time "Men Stare at Goats"
Giuseppe!
What about the b 24
Boss
Having read the book, I'm excited for the series. I don't think this is a great trailer though, it makes it look a bit generic. Production value and cast looks great though.
Well since Clooney is the director/producer, it will probably not be worth watching.
There you go, folks. Hooah. Yossarian lives.
No way they can fit in everything from the book into the series.
But at least it has to be better than the movie, and the cast seems to be okay, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Anybody search for the band and find this?
wheres my boy Orr?
Please don’t do this wrong, please be amazing.
why must we wait until May 🙁
Whatever …books is a masterpiece….
Makes a refreshing change a TV show that did'nt feature a female character forced upon us in a leading role. More show should be brave enough not to pander towards false representation.
Ou sont les Neigedens d'antan??
WHERE IS HARRISON OSTERFIELD !?
oh perfect! I’m making a presentation about this novel for school — right now I’m reading the chapter about Major Major Major Major
"You are saying his balls blown off? I wanna see it "
Cracked me up that one 😀
How can anyone surpass Alan Arkin?
I honestly can’t wait to see this
If you haven't read the book yet…. do so. It might be the best book you will ever read. It's hilarious and at the same time … a real thinker.
Why making a movie if it is not better than the one released 49 years ago? It is funny. It would be difficult to make it not funny with those dialogs. But it doesn't exceed the 1970 movie.
I get a Mash vibe from it
Give it break……………… The original is and forever will be beyond untouchable, nonpareil. Another unimaginative hack job. I'll be in the living room watching the paint dry…………………..
i guess you gotta see the movie (or read the book) but i dont get what all the complaining is about. it was a brutal war. you cant exactly quit in the middle
Im here for harrison
The book was pretty good
Супер! Одна из моих любимейших книг! "Полковник Кэткарт: «Йоссариан» — один лишь вид этой фамилии повергал его в трепет."
This has been outstanding. I have watched five episodes today. I just can't stop myself. Everything about this is great.
Bad bad bad
Careful about the end of episodes 1 and 3
Kids be warned a guy is chopped in half by a plane no joke
Yes Sir MAJOR Major M. Major!!!
Col.Cathcart: Adds 5 more missions.
YoYo: Nani ⁉️
Col.Cathcart: Omae wa mou Shindeiru.
I loved the series so much. Great job. Actors, directing, sets, story, loved them all.
"What's good for M & M Enterprises will be good for the country". I need shares in the syndicate.
Show of the year. True art
It's kinda catch 22, you whifficate the food, I whifficate the rest room, people have one less restroom, everyone gets whifficated
What is a Hulu ?
I'm here for house.
Great show. I wish it were longer
George Clooney is hilarious in this series lol reminds me of him in BURN After Reading
This is easily the most under the radar show I've ever seen. Tremendous writing, acting and extremely high production. Laugh out loud comedy and compelling drama. I have no idea how a show based on one of the biggest books of all time that is directed by and stars George Clooney, Hugh Laurie and Kyle Chandler could go this quietly into the night. I'm scratching my head at the lack of nominations, it's a must watch!
Joe Heller's novel was titled Catch 17 until the publication of the Leon Uris novel Mila 17 :
Heller's publishers who held the MS of the novel strongly recommended a title change. Now we can all see that Catch 22 is, well, catchier.
