Generation Kill

Hi Guys,
I was reading the metro the other day and saw an article about this series. It's a TV series called "Generation Kill". It's based on the series of articles by a journalist called Evan Wright for Rolling Stone magazine. Wright was embedded with the US Marines during their invasion of Iraq, more specifically their 1st Recon Battallion.
It's a pretty well made series, by the same guys who made "The Wire". Definitely worth watching. I think the second episode aired on FX Sunday just gone - however, the whole series (7 episodes) aired last year in the US. I downloaded it at mininova, for those of you who know how to download torrents.
Also, Wright was embedded in the same company as a platoon leader called Nathaniel Fick. Fick wrote a book of his experiences in the USMC called "One Bullet Away - The Making Of A Marine Officer". I think it was Harry that originally recommended that book on this side, but I do not think anyone has said about Generation Kill, the series. Hope you guys enjoy it if you manage to get your hands on it.
