Re: Rate the HBO war series

Well, it depends on what you're looking for really. If you want the one that most accurately portrays its time and place and is probably one of the most realistic depictions of combatants and war it's Generation Kill. The dialouge is pitch perfect, and it hits you right in the moral ambiguity. Band of Brothers is the most popular, and in my experience consistently the most popular with people who've served, because it has the feels and the likeable characters and the period nostalgia. It's not always entirely accurate and on my most recent watchings I sometimes think it veers towards cliche, but it's still incredibly strong and the action scenes are unmatched. The Pacific is the weakest, and I think it's due mainly to its narrative strategy that hops between three almost completely unrelated story lines, but it still had its moments. I think it was willing to go darker than BOB and take more risks which I appreciate, and I loved everything about Sledge's storyline. I spend a pretty good deal of time immersed in all things military, and that's my two cents.

Yeah, Sledge's story was the best part of The Pacific. In fact I made a secret about it a while back. Have you read With The Old Breed? It has to be one of the most readable, empathetic war memoirs ever written.

Yes, I did. It is definitely everything it's cracked up to be. I also read Burgin's book which was pretty good. I've been meaning to read something by Leckie one of these days.
