I watched that a while back. I don't know that I'd call it "great," but it's a pretty good little primer. It got my wife interested back before she really followed my gamer babble.

Okay, so I didn't see the third episode yet when I posted this. The third episode gets pretty damn preachy about the analogies between modern military games and modern society.

The first two episodes were good, though.
