It’s hard to believe that Band of Brothers originally aired in 2001. It’s even harder to believe that it lasted only 1 season. Granted it was only intended to last one season but I can guarantee you than in today’s day and age audiences would demand and cause major havoc if the show only lasted one season. But I love the fact it was a miniseries because now it gets to be “legend” status. It will always remain one of the best series to ever air on HBO.
The series tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. Based on interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers’ journals and letters, this 10-part series chronicles the experiences of these young men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. It is also based on the book written by Stephen Ambrose.
