They skip all the character development and eposide 1 goes from 0 to 100 to combat far to quickly. The depth of the actors and tricking the audience into thinking these are vets falls flat with me. 4-5 episodes in and I'm already so bored I have to pause it and walk away. Worth watching to kill time but this is not another band of brothers by a long shot. Neither was Pacific. The timing of filming B of B, interaction with vets and the simulated basic training laid a serious foundation this series lacks.
