Generation Kill was pretty good. While not quite having the same production values of Band of Brothers, the show holds its own in terms of showing off hardware, cinematography, and casting.
Throughout the series, we continuously see questionable decisions made by commanders that are forced down to the troops. The difficulty came from fighting an enemy that was almost indistinguishable from the civilians.
Following the experience of a reporter (who wrote the original Generation Kill), we get some pretty amazing dialogue:
Sergeant Brad 'Iceman' Colbert: Once more into the great good night. Cry 'havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war.
Corporal Josh Ray Person: Man, when I get home I am gonna eat the fuck out of my girlfriend's pussy.
Evan Wright (Reporter): Is that Shakespeare?
Lance Corporal Harold James Trombley: Shakespeare wrote that? [Wright nods] About his girlfriend's pussy?
I don't really want to analyze this show deeply because that's for an Arts major. In general, you can expect to see some pretty epic firefights, a lot of humvee convoys, sand, and hilarious banter; all wrapped with a tinge of sadness to the entire Operation Iraqi Freedom.
8.0/10
