Battleground is a mockumentary comedy-drama web series created by J. D. Walsh streamed on Hulu. The show follows a group of political campaign staffers working to elect a dark horse candidate to the U.S. Senate in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Walsh serves as executive producer alongside Hagai Shaham and Marc Webb.
The show marks Hulu's first foray into original scripted programming. It premiered online on February 14, 2012.
The series chronicles the inner workings of a Democratic Party primary campaign for a U.S. Senate seat in Wisconsin. Led by campaign manager Chris "Tak" Davis, the team battles against corrupt politicians and staff infighting while campaigning for a distant third-place candidate.
In October 2010, Fox gave a script commitment to the series, which was being written by J. D. Walsh and executive-produced by Walsh and Marc Webb. Fox later passed on making the show. Walsh shot a 20-minute pilot funded by family members. He said no television network was willing to air the series due to its politics-related theme.Hulu later stepped in to produce the series.

We follow a band of American soldiers as they engage the Germans in a snowy, foggy winter near Bastogne in World War II. They're low on fuel, rations, and ammunition; the Germans are constantly encouraging their surrender via radio and leaflets, and most importantly, the pervasive thick fog makes movement and identification difficult and prevents their relief by Allied air support. This film focuses much more on the psychology and morale of the soldiers than on action footage and heroics.

The currency of boyish good looks has run its course for
the time being
Don’t waste your money on artefacts on sale at the local
museum
Deals you made and promises broke – the cost of living
cheaply
Houses close and people go searching for their belongings
The greatest love is a battleground
Here are my arms and here is my heart
Low profile, I want cake, cash changing hands, shake-ups
and stand-offs
Special one, pierce balloons, people popping up left,
right and centre
Rain check, deliveries on, first up, last to get even
Whispers fly above you like cartoon captions, words
reading bigger than what’s spoken
The greatest love is a battleground
Here are my arms and here is my heart
Just a surface hit, just a surface hit…
