What about the series don't you like though? Just saying that it sucks and that it isn't Band of Brothers doesn't add much.

For the love of god ... yes WE GET IT. It's supposed to be from the human standpoint. It's not a difficult concept to understand.
The problem is they didn't properly flesh out these characters, the cuts back and forth for the first 4 episodes were jarring, the biggest "hero" of the series had such poor character development that it was hard to even care about his story.
We understand what they were trying to do. People aren't disappointed because they went with a different angle. People are disappointed because they feel the angle wasn't executed well.
So can we stop with this blanket statement claiming that we just wanted some dumb action shoot em' up and that's why we aren't satisfied with the show?
To clarify, I'm not just saying this is you doing this MMM, a lot of the viewpoints of the detractors are getting dismissed as meatheads wanting an Arnie movie.
