Band Of Brothers

I have been hearing so much about this show recently from friends, real life and online, so I decided to go pick up the DVD boxed set comprising 6 dual layer DVDs with some bonus material and other little extras.

Its produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, so its off to a good start for me already !

Has anyone watched the whole mini series? im hoping its as good as ive heard. ill hopefully get a few free nights over the coming weeks to get watching it.

I think it is consistent with Spielburg qualtiy productions...are you familiar with Steven Ambrose?

I seen this awhile ago on HBO and it was very well done. You will not be dissapointed!

I too bought the DVD set last February. watched it all through twice and just a few nights ago watched the 120 minute documentary on the last disc with the real verterans that the movie depicts. If you don't shed some tears while watching through those DVD's and documentaries, something just ain't right. Absolutely, 100% worth the money spent and any time used to "take in" the whole Easy Company experience....

It's been aired twice in the U.K and I watched it both times!

It's an amazing series and I'm sure you're gonna enjoy it!

Watched it when it originally aired on HBO and I have to say it is excellent. You will not be disappointed.

I recently, er, *obtained* a copy of the first two episodes... after finishing watching the first one and starting the second one, I've put in an order for the DVD boxed set

Very good, if you ask me, really has a good "feel", as if it were very real and immediate, instead of 50 years ago

i watched the series on hbo. so impressed, i purchased the collection on intial day of release & have warched it twice since. thinking about another run. if you can, watch it in one sitting, that is the best experience. hard to get 10 hrs straight like that though.

Truly an amazing series ... seen them all ..... Own them all .........

One thing that makes it .... It's so REAL

I got the dvd boxset for christmas. Its brilliant. The best way to describe it is "Saving Private Ryan The Series".

I have to agree this is one awesome series... The thing that makes it for me is not only how well it is done, but the fact that the guys who were actually there are the guys that they had tell the story...
There is no BS in this, the interviews are really quite moving...
Definitely a keeper...
