The Unit?
24?
Flashpoint?
Over There?
Human Target?
Chuck?

What else is there, I am all watched out.

I have started on season 1 of 24 or the second time.

It’s crazy that allot of the Actors seem to be in all of the mentioned above, so close together, just seems a little bizarre to see the Character in something else, hard to see past the Character to the Actor.

Band of Brothers, the best by far.

Band of Brothers.

Funny you should mention Band of Brothers, i have the BluRay box set, had it for two years, but i never had a Bluray player, LOL. I have had one 8 months but never got round to them, i watched the show on the Box but missed some.

Battlestar Galactica. I know it's sci-fi, but there's moar war in it than anything else.

It's finished, I've seen them all. There is honestly nothing else I've ever seen that is so gripping and so totally immersive. It's really rather good.

Band Of Brothers, obviously. Although I guess it's a mini-series.

The Unit is good for a laugh, but makes me cringe with the invincibility of most of the characters and the poor acting.

In response to the above: I've just started watching Battlestar Galactica and can't understand the hype at the moment. I'm hoping it will improve.

the unit!? its about their wifes more than combat!

The A Team

Nothing has or ever will come close and you all know it.

georges · 30 Mar 2010 at 16:00

Band of Brothers

Generation Kill (made by the same people as BOB)

The Running Man · 30 Mar 2010 at 16:17

there was also generation kill...

not so good.. way too much talking and not enough combat...and the combat barely resulted in any casualties:/

i do quite like the odd bit of Sharpe though! i did enjoy it when he took out silly 'Billy'.

Mp4 · 30 Mar 2010 at 16:34

Band of Brothers

Tombstone · 30 Mar 2010 at 16:48

By a quite considerable margin, I would have to say, Band of Brothers.

I don't remember any significant combat scenes, lots of dialogue however, for action BoB is awesome (in the true sense of the word).

mast3r · 30 Mar 2010 at 17:48

Band Of Brothers has been dusted off and ill get on with that tonight.

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 30 Mar 2010 at 17:53
