Catch-22 (Series)

Yossarian, a bomber gunner stationed in Italy during World War II, tries to get himself declared insane so he can stop flying missions — only to discover that wanting to avoid dying is considered proof of sanity. Heller's impossible paradox brought to television.

The TV adaptation that comes closest to capturing what makes Heller's novel tick. Visually stunning Italian locations and George Clooney directing. The absurdist tone is harder to sustain on screen than on the page, but the ambition is real.
