Great review, Landy!

I was very hyped when this came out because it was from the same people that did "The Wire". Unfortunately I only mildly enjoyed it...it had some powerful scenes but ultimately kinda just dragged along.

same here, the wire was in my opinion the best show ever on tv, i liked this though, just not as much as i was hoping

I enjoyed Generation Kill, don't know if i wanna drop about $50 for it though.

I have never seen an episode. Is this more like Band of Brothers or is it more like Jarhead?

Probably Jarhead.

Was this done miniseries before or after True Blood season 1? I only ask because I notice it stars Eric the Viking as 'Iceman' - and not of the "I don't like you because you're dangerous" variety .

Is there a reason why this review has been reposted?

i need to get this as soon as possible, as i want to watch it badly, along with Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

nice to see a great review about it, although i heard somewhere the series was ...rather harsh.

Just got my copy today Friday june 3. I Hope it's good as I bought it blind. Most reviews seem to favour it though.

For amazon, this blu-ray is Region 1 only but HD Movie Source says "Plays in REGION A.B.C Players". Who is right ?

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.

It's region free.

Some advice:

1) Never trust Amazon for region codes on blu-ray. Tip one that they don't know anything: blu-ray uses A, B, C to define regions. DVD uses 1, 2, 3.... if an Amazon listing has a "1" and it's a blu-ray they're wrong. And they usually are.

2) If you ever have a region coding issue or question, check here.

Thanks for the review.

Amazon just copy it from the DVD page of the same item. Warner doesn't region code discs.

Anyways, I'm still waiting for my order to show up which has GK and a few others with it!
