I will watch the whole series but it doesn't seem too good to me.
I am looking forward to Entourage.

Driving for hours on end without stopping might explain it. Outside of that I can't think of anything.

It's pretty good, good filler for the summer months. I could never get into Entourage for some reason...

The first episode didn't get me immediately interested, but this episode was good. I wish it was a longer series.

Most stuff on tv (and in movies) is based, however loosely, on real life. Writers just couldn't make all this stuff up.

I just started watching this series on Netflix and really like it. I am wondering why it got such mediocre reviews. It is a bit slow moving, but the dialog is fantastic.

btw, in response the prior posts, the adult diapers are for situations when the Marines are on orders to not get out of the Hummer (i.e. hostile territory & much be ready to Oscar Mike in a hurry)
