Premiere: November 7
Just watched the first 2 episodes, started slow but it got very dynamic from the very first episode. I think all 8 episodes will be out soon as Web-DL / Webrip.
On a side note: dayuuuum I almost didn't recognize Jeremy Sisto
Not sure if its much of a recruitment video, seems like its just a endless string of fuck ups from the americans side.
Bit strange that they seem to be doing many of the same mistakes they did in the "black Hawk Down" incident, thought they learned some lessons.
But its indeed rather onesided, besides some talk from a local family and an interpreter, all the iraqis are just faceless badeguys who just shoot and die. (only seen 3 eps, so that could change, i guess) Each episode has had 1 soldier as its focus so far, they could have an ep that focused on the opposition aswell later.)
The worst problem is that it doesnt have any suspense to it, you lack that claustrophic feeling of beeing stuck in a hostile city with everyone out to kill you that Black Hawk Down (movie) did much better.
u can never beat generation kill series i think, that one set the bar super high and was just awesome, us army probably said fuck u to the producers after they saw the finished product ridiculing them and all we get now is murica fuck yeah shit
I watched this, apparently in this war the soldiers spent most of the time crying and having nervous breakdowns. It's just too safe and boring for a show like that.
Insecure shit talk, racist jokes and macho behaviour that's also part of warfare but the show has none of it.
Signature/Avatar nuking: none (can be changed in your profile)
