Generation Kill

So Iv just started watching the debut season for this new piece of gold, direct from the series masters, HBO.



From what iv seen of the show is highly impressive, and contary to what the trailer dictates, it isnt just action and americanism. The show is split into two conflicting perspectives; the macho, american stereotype like soldiers, that want to get in their and kill the enemy.... and a actually intelectual focus on the realities of war, what they do to the mind and body of a soldier, debate on the war in terms of it being just and fair, outside and civilan perspectives and the terms in which the mission can be completed. This mass conflict creates a tension in the show, mainly between the soldiers but also seen in almost everything the war touches.

As for production quality, well expect a series from HBO. Audio and visuals are very slick as usual, while some of the stars can be recognised from other HBO's (True Bloods Alexander Skarsgård makes another HBO return) acting on a whole is fantastic. You immediately get a sense of knowing with the characters, you know what type of person they are and which 'side' (the conflict i talked about earlier) they lie on within seconds of meeting them. Some are obviously more harder to get, but thats because of a more mysterious approach being played, something thats still highly believable.

Anyways to wrap up..... WATCH GENERATION KILL.... HONESTLY.
