68 Whiskey was an hour-long dramedy tv show that lasted one season of ten episodes. It's set at a US Army outpost in Afghanistan and the main characters are a helicopter medevac unit:
It is serious situations where the humor comes from the situations and banter from the characters. There's a season-long subplot having to do with the mercenaries also stationed at the base who work for a big corporation and have their own mysterious missions which turn out to be at side-purposes to winning the hearts and minds of the locals.
It seems fairly realistic in terms of the camp and the gear and such. I found it to be a pretty good military series but too bad it only lasted one season because it ends in a bit of a cliffhanger.
- Sergeant Cooper Roback (Sam Keeley) - A medic and hustler trying to help out his friends but his schemes usually fail.
- Sergeant Rosa Alvarez (Cristina Rodlo) - Another medic and very competent but due to be returned to the US and deported.
- Staff Sergeant Mekhi Davis (Jeremy Tardy) - Cooper's best friend trying to save his parents from losing their home.
