After watching episode 2, I have to say that I am a tad bit disappointed. I expected better explanation of what was going on there. Battles, dates, facts etc.
The Battle of Savo island, they are mentioning in Ep. no.2, was a disastrous defeat of US fleet. But IJN had missed their primary target - cargo ships which enabled US to dig in and make a stand. Thus the claim that they have sunk them isn't accurate as they say in the beggining of the episode.
Somehow everything happens too fast. At one moment it is over a month after landing, and the next there is a big battle. No shots of the airfield what so ever which was the key point of the island. The next thig you know they have won the battle and are going home. The battle for Guadalcanal lasted 6 months IIRC.
Still, I liked the show and will continue to enjoy it very much.
