Unless your DVR records in HD, that wasn’t necessary. It’s On Demand.

And the first episode was a little slow but good, I can tell it’s building up to another epic HBO series.

Canceled HBO after Sopranos ended. If it’s good I’ll just wait for the DVDs.

eh it wasn’t bad for the first episode that I saw. It kind of reminded me of Jarhead though, lots of drama, not a lot of action. Hopefully it will be more towards the side of Band of Brothers though…that was/is such a perfect mix of action and deep character building

The sniper scene in the second episode was good though

+1. That was a pretty intense scene.

Seems like they are doing a very good job keeping it…i guess realistic?  
I’m sure the shit will hit the fan soon though, they are building the tensity pretty well. Probably not like in Rambo though.

But I’m easily giving this a 9/10 thus far.
