An interesting look into the Iraqi conflict.

A rolling Stone reporter is attached to the first recon marines in order to chronicle the Baghdad assault. Starring Alexander Skarsgård (Tru Blood) this true to life account of life in the marines, the hardships and the humor. The series follows the 1st recon through multiple firefights and the internal struggle with incompetent leadership and lack of resources. The characters are portrayed well and you become truly immersed in the story. Very funny, often controversial if you like realistic war stories this series is definitely for you.
