I watched the finale last night. It was a pretty good series. It gives some insight on the tactics used and not used during the initial invasion, mentality of the RECON division and marines, and the overall intentions of the Commanding Officers. Now, how much is accurate i have no idea.

From an entertainment side, if you expecting some drama to unfold you are going to be disappointed (there are exciting moments, but this is not Saving Private Ryan or Platoon. If you want to see what is going on during the invasion then you'll be interested. I'm trying not to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the last episode.
