Did anyone bother to watch this show? It ended a while ago in the States and ended last night in Canada. I caught a few minutes of it. I thought it was pretty lame.
It basically follows a unit around in Iraq. It's completely fictional.

Yeah...fictional war stories are stupid when we have enough real ones that should be protrayed acurately in the first place.

I watched this show and loved it. I thought it was very realistic (my uncle said so also and he was over in Iraq). I recommend it to anyone

The opinion I've been getting from most people is it started off pretty shaky, but it got a lot better as it went on. I kind of wish I would have watched it, but I kept forgetting.
I'm torn. I've seen parts here and there, and it looks like it could be good, but the episode I saw last night, where someone shot the Lt, I didn't care for the dialogue at the end.
Plus I don't like that fact that the war is barely 2 years old and already a show is out about it.

It kicked ass, but 'The Unit' is way better. President Palmer acting like Jack, you can't beat that.
