Last nights episode was much better than the first. Its quite good but has a major flaw imo. The actor playing Saddam is too, how can I put it, noble to play him. Saddam was a monster but cheesy, this guy has too much gravitas, hes not gangster enough. Now the guy playing Uday - hes perfect.
Its very well produced. You get the impression of opulent presidential palaces despite them only filming in a couple of rooms and a swimming pool, the invasion of Kuwait taking place in a warehouse and the Mother of All Battles in a couple of cruddy C&C rooms.

Maybe it would be better to get South Park's Saddam in: he might fit the bill a bit better
