I watched this for the first time over the weekend and i have to say this is the best and most powerful thing i have seen in a long time, the horrors these men went through not just these men but all the men of WW2 is so hard to imagine.

Everyone one of them hero's. 10/10

The saying, "war is hell" cannot be appreciated by those of us who did not experience it. Band of Brothers brings us very close to it.

This was a great series.

It's strange in that guys like me really have no idea. Go back those sixty odd years, and people my age and younger were getting sent off to fucking war. I have nothing but respect for those men. In all wars, on every side.

Yes, I said all sides. Because in 9 time out of 10, it was young men being forced to blood the fields under orders from commanders and generals. For me and my ilk, who's hardest decision most days is what to have for breakfast, these men were a different breed.

Not about WW2 (rather Vietnam), but the sentiment is the same IMO.

Band of Brothers is a masterpiece, great acting, great story, makes you wanna cry. I never ever saw a better serie as this one, hell.. even movies like Saving Private Ryan, who were masterpieces also cant get past Band of Brothers.

It is truly a masterpiece.

I was thinking of the watching The Pacific next, what are people thoughts on this series. I've read up that it's good but not as good as Band Of brothers..

The Pacific was a real let down, its not even close to Band of Brothers. Feels rushed.

If you loved the series, then you might wanna read the book by Stephen E Ambrose.

They was never going to top the Band of Brothers.So was always going to be an inferior show.
