Well, I've seen the whole series now and feel I can comment on it as a whole.
I've read quite a lot of commentaries from people disappointed by it, and I can see where they are coming from, even if I don't agree.
My biggest gripe was that the series felt a little disjointed, but since it was following the progress of three seperate Marines rather than a single group of men, I suppose that was inevitable.
Since the series follows a correct timeline, jumps from one main character to another left me a little lost at times. I'll be happy to watch it again now I have a better idea who is who.
What the series did best I think was to highlight the sheer horror of warfare and it's effects on the men who experience it. The characters were well cast, and I was so moved by the stories of Marines Leckie and Sledge that I have bought their books which inspired the series to an extent.
When I've finished them I'll give a brief recommendation if anyone is interested, though both have great reviews so shouldn't be disappointing.
