Generation Kill (2008)

Director: Susanna White/Simon Cellan Jones (Some TV shit I've never heard of)
Stars: Alexander Skarsgard (Zoolander, "True Blood" [I've never seen the show but I've heard good things)
James Ransone ("The Wire", "The Third Watch")
YesNoSoso: 2

I was hesitant to even put this on YesNoSoso, seeing as it was a mini-series on HBO, but it only had seven episodes and was awesome so I thought I'd spread the word. From the same writers as "The Wire", Generation Kill tells the story of the first Recon Marine Battalion in the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Like "The Wire" its full of pithy dialogue and vastly complex characters and it does an incredible job of parlaying the frenetic/mind-numbingly-boring duality of war.
