Band of Brothers". Golden Globes Awards. Archived from the original on July 14, 2014 . Retrieved June 7, 2014. Taken as a whole, the miniseries weaves complicated military strategy, disquieting interactions, and natural dialogue into a cohesive epic. Taken episode by episode, the miniseries dots the tale with wit, tension, and valor. You won’t root for every soldier… you probably won’t enjoy every character’s company… but you will hang on their words and cringe and cheer with their moves. I could go on at length about ‘Band of Brothers’ and the merits of its tone, themes, and structure, but you probably either already know (as you’ve seen the miniseries) or you haven’t had the time to give it a spin (in which case, get to your local video store and rent some discs). The production team consulted Dale Dye, a retired United States Marine Corps captain and consultant on Saving Private Ryan, as well as with most of the surviving Easy Company veterans, including Richard Winters, Bill Guarnere, Frank Perconte, Ed Heffron, and Amos Taylor.

Since Band of Brothers focuses entirely on the exploits of "E" (Easy) Company during World War II, the series features a large ensemble cast. Originally planned to be an HBO production, Masters of the Air was announced as one of Apple's first originals ahead of the launch of the Apple TV+ streaming service in 2019. When director Steven Spielberg and actor Tom Hanks commit to producing a miniseries, they go all out. ‘Band of Brothers,’ one of the most complex, expensive, and expansive television miniseries I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing, not only won the adoration of critics and audiences the world over, but managed to simultaneously honor the veterans of World War II, educate the public on the sacrifices of dozens of fallen heroes, and deliver a powerful multi-character study that focused on the everyday men who selflessly gave their lives for a greater good. Downey, Kevin (October 3, 2001). "UPN's 'Enterprise,' most likely to succeed". Media Life. Archived from the original on July 9, 2015 . Retrieved July 8, 2015. We Stand Alone Together: The Men of Easy Company (HD, 78 minutes) -- First up is a feature length, high-def documentary that digs into the events that inspired the miniseries, offers interviews with the actual survivors of Easy Company, and gives a stirring account of the trials and tribulations they experienced. I was relieved that the doc’s producers didn’t use sappy sentimentalism to exploit the veterans’ memories, but instead chose to focus on their candid stories, countless archive video clips, and an endless ream of historical facts from a variety of sources. If you don’t have the time to explore everything on the discs, make sure this documentary is your top priority.Mifflin, Lawrie (December 2, 1998). "TV Notes: World War II, The Mini-Series".
