Band of Brothers - decided to revisit after seeing it when first released 13:30 - Feb 1 with 1850 viewshomer_123

As well as an excellent watch - just go and have a little look at the Cast - it really is quite unreal who is in it!!!!

It's worth seeking out some of the We Have Ways podcasts as they have quite a few where it's featured - including some watch alongs.
It's a seminal work.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

One of mine also.

The Pacific miniseries made later HBO, is well worth watching too.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Yup. Remember watching that shortly after and whilst enjoyable, it doesn't' come close to BOB, IMO.

Major Dick Winters war memoirs are a decent read.

Rewatched the series recently, I'd forgotten just how upsetting "why we fight" was.

Just saw this post, I also rewatched recently and was struck by how unforgiving it is. Very confusing at times, characters come and go and hard to tell apart in the snow or under their coats and helmets, lots of information delivered quickly and opaquely. These are all compliments!

Rather like The Wire it challenges the viewer to comprehend the reality of war and refuses to sugar coat or spoon feed. Seminal work.

They’ve just finished the USAAF version based on a B-17 Bomber crew’s experience. Years in the making - with Tom Hanks once again involved - should be good

Incredible series.

As of a few months ago every single guy who served in Easy Company 506th PIR during the war has now passed away.

When they discover 'you know what' towards the end of the series is just so heartbreaking. Well filmed and well acted.

It’s called ‘Masters of the Air’. Apple TV+ bought it though, annoyingly. Not very familiar with Apple TV but will subscribe to watch it when it’s released.

Large parts of that were filmed in Suffolk as well.. We have an abundance of 2nd world war airbases in a variety of conditions. Tom Hanks and his team visited a few to pick filming locations as well as get inspiration

It's a stunning piece of television and really raised the bar in terms of production values for TV series. You're right about the cast as well, so many actors who went on to have successful Hollywood careers.

I'm quite envious that you have it to look forward to. I normally watch the whole series again every few years. One of the best things you will ever watch.

Looking forward to masters of the air coming out soon.

Unpopular opinion: I watched this a few months ago for the first time given the rave reviews and whilst there were some good episodes I couldn’t get into it.

I do like war dramas but regardless of the star studded cast I just found it a touch to slow for me.
