Over There show?

What do you guys think of that show on FX? They were running commercials for it like crazy, making it look like the Band of Brothers of the iraq war..

I think it totally flopped and turned into one of those action movies the baldwin brothers participate in. I couldn't watch it for more than 5 minutes because it was done so much differently than they had it on commercial.

I feel they could have done a better job with it. The atmosphere/feel of Iraq they have done pretty well on, its just the storyline that kills it. It would be interesting if they would have made is historically accurate, say the battle of Fallujah, Jessica Lynch rescue, etc. Also Id like to see more military vehicles being used to help the infantry. The only time I seen an Abrams was off in the background of a clip.
