It's quite good, and anyone who liked BoB will enjoy this chance to see some more of the same style drama. What I feel it lacks in comparison to its older 'Brother' is an episode theme. In BoB each episode, in addition to chronicling the trials and tribulations of the main characters, also focused on one particular aspect of warfare; leadership issues, the role of the medic, the waiting, etc. This seems missing here and a lot of the character sympathy seems more cheaply purchased and cliché. I'm being overly critical, however, it's still a great watch. I’ve watched the first three parts of this series and I’m certain I’ll watch the remaining episodes too.
