here is a pimp post written after the very first episode. The show has gotten *way* better since then. Season one was broadcast on Sky, and the current season which ended tonight is being broadcast on Cinemax. You absolutely do not need to see season one to jump into the show. It has its issues but the issues improve somewhat as the story progresses.

It's highly entertaining on a multitude of levels, the least of which is the eye candy. Both male and female. The biggest of which is the development of the relationship between Scott and Stonebridge, followed by Scott and the Colonel.
