I finally watched the first episode on demand and was very impressed. I think the show really captures the way these different personalities came together as a unit. The one thing that the book has, and I'm hoping the show goes into this more in later episodes, is the detailed back stories of the various characters. That's what I remembered the most from the book: the way characters from all walks of life were able to unite and thrive as a military unit and a fraternity.
