Nearly finished it now. My god it's the most realistic, no-holds-barred portrayal of war I think I've ever seen. Not a gung-ho in sight. Going on to The Pacific after this. Wish there was more of it. The interviews at the beginning of each episode only drive further home how this isn't just made up ****.
It should probably also be noted that my remark "it's intense" was BEFORE they got posted to Europe. Holy good **** on a bike! If episode one was level three, this is level a million now. The camera angles really add to it (the direction, I mean) - makes it really feel like there's someone trying to capture the action as it happens, and that they're in danger too. Superb.
