    Another great episode, but does the series not feel truncated to anyone else? It's only 10 episodes (How long was Brothers? It seems like it was 15-18 episodes in my mind) and both episodes have felt so...brief? Tonight's episode was barely 45 minutes after you take into account the opening credits and interviews. I want a packed 60 minutes!

    All of that I guess is my way of saying, holy shit is great, and I want more.

    William Sadler looks and sounds exactly like my grandfather. The shit is uncanny.

      Band was 10 episodes as well, and some of the eps for that were hovering around 54 minutes.

      Sounds about the same runtime is in order, just a different pacing.

        Checked out the first episode. Not too shabby, but didn't blow me away. I also can't take Radio Flyer seriously.

          He fucking frightens me.

          Not only for the whole "Tom Hanks kept my death a secret so his kids wouldn't freak out/High five stepdad!" thing, but his is the face that conjurs images of ARRECK BARRWYNN pulling his skull back so as to make his nose into a pterodactyl's beak.

          In a long winded way, I'm saying the kid's nose is gonna get ripped off in the barbed wire.

                  Unix.

                  Also, I will be giving this show a chance only for Sadler. Otherwise, this reminded me of every WWII movie/documentary ever.

                      Yep. I fail I know. Just not my bag. But I will give it 3 episodes.

                        I must admit, how many movies cover the Pacific theater? There's the Thin Red Line, Flags of our Fathers and the Japanese one. But outside of that, can't imagine too much else recently.

                        Kind of amazes me, just how in the fuck we were able to pull that off. Well that, and the atom bomb. Invasion of Japan would have had at least Civil War level casualties.

                          But the thing is, I just don't care. I grew up with this shit man. And it turned me off it.

                            You've said before you don't like war movies, makes sense here.

                            Although I'm still wondering how in the fuck did we get a movie about Grenada? Fucking Grenada!
