Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as their journals and letters, Band of Brothers chronicles the experiences of these men from paratrooper training in Georgia through the end of the war. As an elite rifle company parachuting into Normandy early on D-Day morning, participants in the Battle of the Bulge, and witness to the horrors of war, the men of Easy knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear - and became the stuff of legend. Based on Stephen E. Ambrose's acclaimed book of the same name.

Reviews

bgar-80932 The show set out what it meant to do I believe which is show what one particular actual company had to endure during WW2. It showed all the things they went through. The waiting times, the bad officers, the grunts perspective as well as good men rising through the ranks. What I thought it best illustrated is how pointless and miserable it was to be a grunt. You just do whatever you are told and try not to die even when half the time your mission is completely pointless. The one area that didn't land to me was the attachment to the characters. I really only ever liked the two men who worked together at the end after the war, the red head officer and the dude who was in office space. Other than that the characters were too in and out due to injury, death, or just non-focus on the character to truly make me care for them. I cared for them because it was a true story but not because what was on the screen. The last few episodes had emotional moments that did land when they liberated a concentration camp and when the actual men talked about the men who passed in the war and didn't get to have after war lives. They told what some of the men did or were doing after the war and just trying to get through life and then some of them talked about their friends they lost. Seeing some of these men break down or get close legitimately made me cry and feel bad for not loving the show. I almost just wanted to watch a documentary of them telling their stories telling the good, the bad, and the ugly of the war rather than watch this show but I'm sure that would be way too hard for them. True heroes.

mase-6 Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Tom Hardy didn't become stars overnight. They started out in small roles like these and worked their way up.

anoxmuos Best war series ever. This series is so unbelievably realistic in a word is awesome. I couldn't wait to see each episode

snawx All political bull aside, this one is a REAL gem. I've seen many similar shows/movies, but nothing ever topped Band of Brothers. Even 2018 movies, with well developed special effects and sounds - BoB tops everything for me.Oh, how much I love the fact that this one is based on a true story. I love that BoB has implemented segments of the TRUE heroes talking. I found many similarities between the real heroes and the actors (such as speech similarities, roles are obviously very similar in character). I've felt many many intense emotions during those loud but sad scenes. The perfect combination of sound, emotion, attributes and an overwhelming storyline.What another pleasant surprise was that I saw my favorite actor - Tom Hardy - suddenly appearing in one of the episodes!
