Thought I'd give this a bump since we're past the third episode. I must say - as much as I want to like it, I'm not too impressed with it so far. In the last episode, I realize that there was almost a year's lapse between Guadalcanal and the push up the Solomons, but did they have to dedicate an entire episode to the break? If I got a lot more insight into some characters' personalities, I could see it. But I didn't. The only insight I got was that while the Marines were in Australia on a break, many Australians were dying fighting the Japanese in China, and a girl was afraid to get involved with Leckie because she was afraid he'll die.
I realize that to be a good episode, it does not necessarily have to always be about the fighting, but am I missing something, or is this just not good story telling? Is the fact that each episode has a different director hurting it?
What's your take on it?
