Description

Get ready to see the new face of American war. HBO presents this seven-part miniseries that focuses on the first 40 days of the war in Iraq as seen through the eyes of the elite group of U.S. Marines who spearheaded the invasion. Based on Evan Wright's 2004 non-fiction book, the miniseries follows the First Recon Marine division as they gathered reconnaissance from behind enemy lines and led the attack on Iraq in March of 2003. The result is a vivid account of the soldiers who rode alongside Wright (an embedded journalist working for Rolling Stone magazine) for two months--and of the collective forces that guided these highly trained Marines in an often-improvised initiative aimed at liberating Iraq from the control of Saddam Hussein.

    No heroes or villains in this one. Just the true story of Marines leading the charge to Iraq.

    Brilliant series that hasn't had mainstream TV exposure in the UK. Great scripts, excellent acting, gritty and honest storylines make for compelling watching. Highly recommended. Goes without saying that there is a lot of violence, blood and swearing. But if that puts you off this genre is not your cup of tea anyway.

    Im a huge fan of Evan Wright, the author of the original Rolling Stone article that brough Generation Kill to life, so when this arrived, I knew it would be good. Thanks to the Recon Marines who were there first time round, they helped bring this show to us in the most realistic and sometimes hard to watch fashion. It also didnt stray from the book, which is a pleasant surprise. If you want to see what its really like on the front line, get this. You wont regret it.

    This series strikes the perfect balance between realism and humor creating the perfect military series. It has all the realism of band of brothers coupled with the humor of an action packed comedy. Acting is outstanding and the script is great, well worth the price.
  • Highly recommended!

    The most realistic programme I have seen in ages. No glossing over the horrible parts just realistic grit and honest performances. The best tv I have seen for ages. Can't recommend this high enough. Everyone should be made to see it and maybe they would respect the armed forces more.
