I'm still kinda meh over this series.

Slow Horses is also good on Apple+... British series about MI-5 Counter-Intel folks who dress like normal people and have messy desks.

Another way to get "free" subscription months is buying an Apple TV, the hardware. I think it includes another 3 months. The device is much better than the Amazon Android offerings.

cant really say.  I had it on as backround white noise but havent really watched it.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

1) Its navy.  In particular, it is surface navy.  That alone is enough reason to watch it. Multiple times.  :grin:
2) It has Tom Hanks (who is way too old to be a WWII destroyer skipper, but is still believable as one)
3) It is about ASW (although you do have to ignore the U-boats getting on the Tactical Broadcast System (TBS) network and  harassing the destroyer crews).
4) While it doesn't do a good job of showing the tedium that is convoy escort (that would make be a bad movie), it does reflect some of the desperation that was the WWII convoy battle.  It definitely has some "Hollywood" elements to liven things up for a modern audience, but they don't break the overall immersion of the movie.
5) The actual portion of the movie dealing with life on destroyers fairly accurate.
6) Ignore the first 5 minutes of the movie.  Tom being dumped by the girl has no bearing for the rest of the movie.  I don't know why that scene is in the movie at all.

Just watched the first episode
Very strong Band of Brothers vibe - that's a good thing
Combat scenes were intense -Apple might have a real hit on their hands
