    I'm with you on this one Dave. I found the situations/dialogue/ on #3 pedestrian and weak. Good art direction, off-setting gratuitous sex scenes.

     the bulk of the mini-series is based on 2 autobiographies, Basilone's and Leike's. episode 3 was largely Leike's story. without having read it, I'd guess he goes back to Melbourne after the war after the girl. episode 2 was mostly Basilone's
