Every HBO Miniseries Ranked Worst To Best

Another series written by David Simon, Generation Kill tells the story of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the opening days of Iraq War. The story takes a look at life as a soldier during those early days of conflict, and how the different figures involved in the fighting - from the government to the troops - saw the war.

With its gritty realism, perfectly orchestrated soundtrack and acute attention to detail, Generation Kill serves as important insight into a maddening conflict.
