In the first 60 seconds of Bomb Patrol : Afghanistan , you will be hooked . You ’ll then expend the rest of episode one with an grand spirit rate and your mouth open . It ’s simply the most compelling thing you ’ll see on video .
The documentary film series , whichpremieres tonight , follows an elect eight - man U.S. Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit on their five - month deployment in Afghanistan . Improvised Explosive Devices ( IEDs ) account for more casualty among military troops in Afghanistan than anything else . These are the guys that go in to uncongenial territory and essay to defuse them . It ’s well one of the earth ’s most dangerous jobs .
In the undivided clip you see above , the team ’s young member , Chase , is on his first mission , and he has just unexpectedly blown up one of their highly sophisticated robots , the Talon . He was navigate it around the land site of a mistrust IED , got too close , and ka - gold rush . Not a full first day . They sent out their other Talon to investigate — because where there ’s one IED , there ’s often a 2d — but radio interference from the first Talon finish the 2nd one in the lead . Chase must now pilot a third , smaller robot - which uses a freakin ’ XBOX controller - to prune the first Talon ’s power provision . If he ca n’t , then the second Talon remains stranded , and the Chief has to go in on foundation . That ’s as dangerous as it sound .

The 10 - episode serial premiere tonight at 10 pm PST / EST on the G4 meshing . It ’s rarified that a TV show grabs me . I abhor realness TV , I like only a couple sit coms , and I find most documentary show boring and/or cheesy . Bomb Patrol : Afghanistan is one of the most fascinating and compelling things I ’ve ever reckon . Enjoy , and upright fortune getting to bed afterwards . [ G4 ]
