Review of JAG

JAG (1995–2005)
7/10
Authentic and Intriguing, with a major exception
4 August 2022
I just started watching this show on Amazon Prime Video and am still in the first season. Overall, it's a good show - well-written, intriguing plots, a sense of naval authenticity. But one thing bugs the heck out of me.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice restricts sexual relationships between service members, even consensual relations. The JAGs even bring this up in The their investigations when it seems relevant to the case. But the JAG investigators themselves, so far a male and female, engage in a level of flirting that could endanger their careers, such as longing gazes, banter filled with sexual innuendo, double entendres, and such. For Navy lawyers, they seem pretty reckless and fate-tempting. I know this is a TV show, and sexual tension halos ratings, but for me it hurts the show's authenticity.
