Generation Kill

Wondering if anyone caught this new series?

Quote:
Generation Kill is a television miniseries based on Evan Wright’s book about his experiences as an embedded reporter with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the Iraq war’s first phase in 2003.
This is what piqued my interest.

From the creator of The Wire

I saw the first episode and I quite liked it, very gritty and great writing like The Wire.

You bastards might enjoy it.

HBO: Films: Generation Kill

I watched 5 seasons The Wire from start to finish in about 3 weeks
I generally despise rap and ghetto/gangster shiznit but I'd rate The Wire as one of the best TV series ever.

I guess a lot of you Americans are sick of hearing about the war, but if you like war/military related shows/movies you gotta give it a go.

I do like war movies, but I'm just not feeling anything modern right. Especially a witty war series based in Iraq. There's nothing funny about that place and how much money we've wasted there.

caught the first episode thought it was pretty good. the only thing i don't like about it is one of the main characters played ziggy in season 2 of the wire and that's easily my most hated character on the wire ever, and seeing that actor in anything irks me.
