Amazon.com:
An impressively rigorous, unsentimental, and harrowing look at combat during World War II, Band of Brothers follows a company of airborne infantry--Easy Company--from boot camp through the end of the war. The brutality of training takes the audience by increments to the even greater brutality of the war; Easy Company took part in some of the most difficult battles, including the D-Day invasion of Normandy, the failed invasion of Holland, and the Battle of the Bulge, as well as the liberation of a concentration camp and the capture of Hitler's Eagle's Nest. But what makes these episodes work is not their historical sweep but their emphasis on riveting details (such as the rattle of a plane as the paratroopers wait to leap, or a flower in the buttonhole of a German soldier) and procedures (from military tactics to the workings of bureaucratic hierarchies). The scope of this miniseries (10 episodes, plus an actual documentary filled with interviews with surviving veterans) allows not only a thoroughness impossible in a two-hour movie, but also captures the wide range of responses to the stress and trauma of war--fear, cynicism, cruelty, compassion, and all-encompassing confusion. The result is a realism that makes both simplistic judgments and jingoistic enthusiasm impossible; the things these soldiers had to do are both terrible and understandable, and the psychological price they paid is made clear. The writing, directing, and acting are superb throughout. The cast is largely unknown, emphasizing the team of actors as a whole unit, much like the regiment; Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston play the central roles of two officers with grit and intelligence. Band of Brothers turns a vast historical event into a series of potent personal experiences; it's a deeply engrossing and affecting accomplishment. --Bret Fetzer




Rating: - Band of Brothers
In excellent condition and came on time. Great movie. Who wouldn't love an action packed historical view on the events of the past. Two thumbs up for sure....

Rating: - Beyond the Battles
My husband received this as a gift last year. I was reluctant to watch it with him. However, once it was going I couldn't help but be drawn in to the story. Band of Brothers is not only excellent in terms of scripting, cinemetography and casting, but tells a story that will capture almost anyone who has a slight interest in history.

This year we gave it to my father-in-law for Christmas. A few days later, my mother-in-law commented on how they both loved it and couldn't stop watching. ... Read More

ALTHOUGH THE PURCHASE IS ALREADY PAID FOR, NOTHING HAS ARRIVED. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A XMAS PRESENT. NO ANSWER ON EMAIL I SENT FOR EXPLANATION.

Rating: - Simply the best.
There is really no need for a long review for this TV series. All that you need to know, is buy it. It is the best TV series ever released, and it is the most visceral, emotional, gritty, and realistic representation of the battlefield I have ever seen.
