First Watch
Finally, after multiple starts and knowing of the series since I was little…I finished HBO’s Band of Brothers. 28/M/Actor, and I gotta say, Chernobyl was for a long time my favorite (Limited Series) but this takes the cake. I don’t think there is a single miss in the entire series in any capacity. Chernobyl has a similar effect with its acting, writing and editing. But the heart that you feel beating throughout Band of Brothers is undeniable.
I know this is a revered series and has been since its release. But as a first time watch, I wanted to remind everyone who’s seen it time and time again that it holds the same effect it did when it was released and I’m sure it will for many years to come. Especially since rarely do we see quality storytelling in film/television of this stature anymore.
Funny enough, even though I’ve shed a few tears when watching things with far less emotional impact than this, I didn’t shed a single one 99% of the way through. All up until the final like where Major Winters says “No, but I served in a company of hero’s”.
I hate that I waited so long to watch it, but glad I watched at an age where I have a better understanding of what these men did, how they defied odds to defeat evil.
Long live Easy Company
