    Default Generation Kill

    Yet another good TV series started last night, what with Stargate Universe, Tru Blood, Flashforward and Fringe I may never leave the house again!

    I watched it a while back (the whole lot is on NGs), and I absolutely loved it. So much, I'm watching it again now it's on normal telly.

    It's from the same two people who wrote The Wire, and it's just as good in it's own way.

    I didn't like this series so much, though I did watch all episodes. It's just that with Band of Brothers setting the bar, nothing really compares in goodness to it.

    It has a very different feel to Band of Brothers which I found a bit "up its own arse" insofar as I can tell from the opening episodes this should hold my attention.

    think what makes this good as well is that it is all based on true events, from the reporters Book

    It's a far more intelligent show than Band of Brothers, though that's not to detract from Spielberg's series.
