Tour of Duty (Seasons 1–3)

Tour of Duty (1987) is an American war drama series available to watch online on iFILM. The show follows a U.S. Army infantry platoon through the Vietnam War, anchored by Terence Knox and Stephen Caffrey. Over three seasons on CBS, the rotating cast brought in Karl Weathers, Lee Majors, and a very early Kyle Chandler.

The series stays at ground level — no generals, no strategy briefings, just patrols and ambushes and the slow erosion of a unit that keeps taking losses. Each episode runs its own operation while the platoon dynamic quietly fractures and rebuilds around whoever didn't come back. Fifty-eight episodes across three seasons.

For network television in the late 1980s, Tour of Duty was unusually willing to sit with the confusion and cost of the war — at a time when most American media was still circling around how to talk about Vietnam at all. Stream all episodes on iFILM.
