A guy at work brought me the DVD boxset and said I "had to watch it" and it gave him goosebumps. Is it really that good? I don't want to waste 10 hours.

Personally,

It's one of the best things to ever air on TV, IMO.

I have the box set. One of the best series to ever be on television.

Rimbaud · « **Reply #23 on:** July 25, 2008, 06:25:04 AM »

One of the few box sets I don't regret owning.

I watched it when it aired on HBO and didn't hesitate to preorder the box set. The disc with the documentary interviewing the actual surviving soldiers had me choking back tears.
