Watched every episode when it first aired and again over the last two weeks. Think I appreciate it even more now, as I'm a lot wiser (and unfortunately a lot older too -grin. Doesn't time fly when you're having fun!), so I have a better understanding of the impact of this war, the different points of view, the psychological impact etc.
What I did notice now, and can't remember noticing back then, are the flaws. For instance blowing up a bridge, placing the explosives just above the waterline, then the bridge blows way up top? A mite odd I say. Ruiz firing the M60, never hitting anything. Well, not really a surprise cos he doesn't seem to be aiming at anything either. At some point he was firing direction sky? Maybe he been smoking something weird. Grenades explode meters from the targets, yet the enemy dies each time.
Biggest bummer is that they left the fans of the show -which must have been a vast amount- hanging after season 3. Least thing they could've done was give us 1 or 2 more eps to wrap it up.
Anyhow, in spite of that, I think it's a brilliant series, must see. One of a kind. To this day. Cast is great. The insight, depth of emotions and issues addressed are great. The way Sgt. Anderson holds the whole lot together, brilliantly done! Terence Knox was definitely an excellent choice. So I'm giving it a big 10.
