I've now watched the first four episodes of this. It's hilarious at times and very gritty at other moments, but you might need a military background to really appreciate how dead on some of these personalities are.
I should qualify my statement by adding that the hilarious part is not the death or violence, but rather the interaction between the Marines. Overall great show, which I highly recommend people watch.

a new fave of mine as well. some of the lingo goes over my head but overall its easy to follow and gives a very human side to the story. Looking forward to the future episodes.

It's a shame it's only a miniseries.

I think its a pretty good show. I think people got so attached to the wire they aren't really give this show a chance.
The Wire made you aware of the inner city problems.
Generation Kill gets more into the mind set of the troops.
They are programed to follow orders and this show gets into the inner conflicts some troops go through. The situation they are in trying to fight an enemy and save people that all blend together as one.
If you gonna get high... get high all the way.

I missed the inital episodes because I was out of the country, but I watched them all on DVR a couple of days ago. Fucking great show.
Captain America is hysterical. The last episode, when he was '"trapped" on the bridge, featured his best scene yet.

Life is essentially one long Benny Hill skit punctuated by the occasional Anne Frank moment.

Hey, you devil dogs. What's the thing about the charms in the humvee? They never explained that.

Marines have various superstitions about good and bad luck items, or certain personal rituals they like to go through. A lot of these superstitions are confined to particular units. Originally Posted by TomSelis
