(o44) let's talk about tv shows.

I decided that, once I manage to get my paws on more free time, I should use it judiciously. Which means, of course, on screentime!

This is a rec post.

Kindly step forward and name 1-5 shows that I ABSOLUTELY need to watch. State a reason or two; their main theme; perhaps a lead character or ship, or an actor/actress who's doing marvelously within.

1. Generation Kill: There's a really great intro post here and it's probably the least "likable" of the HBO war trinity, but it's my favourite. This man is in it, as is this dude. I've picspammed two of the episodes here and here. I really love this show, okay. A lot.
2. Band of Brothers: My second favourite of the HBO war trinity. It's set in WW2, versus 2003 like Generation Kill & follows Easy Company. And it's amazing. Even the opening credits are amazing (see here). It has an amazing cast and. Just. IinfinbiADInfiNMDMsMDN. I love it. It's heart breaking but uplifting at the same time. It made me cry and it made me laugh and there's no way you can't fall in love with half the characters because they are SO real.
3. The Pacific: Least favourite of the trinity, but only because I love the other two more. It's just as amazing. Like BoB, even the opening credits are amazing. Another amazing cast. Another bunch of characters that are so fucking real. It's. Just. Ainfsngi.

Honestly, I really, really don't know how to express my love for these three shows. They are beautiful and wonderful and they've made cry and I get frustrated and. And. I love them. You should watch them because I love them a lot.
