Once upon a time in Iraq.
I guess it fits in this thread as there are multiple episodes, and it's on TV.
It's good, it can't not be good considering the subject matter. It's so strange watching stuff that is still so vivid in my memory replayed with 15 or so years worth of perspective. I think most of us thought "this is going to turn out badly" at the time, but re-seeing that stuff is like "wft was everyone thinking?".
As a doc, it does all the usual tropes, which irks me a bit. Like filming people before the clapper claps, and having a camera filming a camera. But it works.
As an aside, one of the people interviewed was in Marine Recon, the tip of the spear of the first force to invade Mesopetamia since Genghis Khan. That really makes me want to rewatch Generation Kill.
