The show details the actions of a "soldier-turned-mercenary who opens the only watering hole in Baghdad's Green Zone at the height of the post-invasion Iraqi insurgency." Cinemax is probably hoping to capture some of that Bearman magic, considering the journalist's story "The Great Escape" was the basis for Best Picture winner Argo. No word yet on whether this show will act as a prequel to the rehab drama Team Downey has set up at Showtime, so that the Green Zone drinkers can return home and immediately enter the treatment facility. After all, shared universes are all the rage these days.
