Band of Brothers: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Andrew Ryan Globe and Mail The battle scenes are spectacular, although wincingly graphic at times. Mar 11, 2020 Full Review Band of Brothers: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Gary Kamiya Salon.com It wants to occupy a kind of middle ground, somewhere between the sobriety of documentary and the daring of great feature-filmmaking. Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Band of Brothers: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Alan Sepinwall Newark Star-Ledger The brilliance of Lewis in this is that he finds a way to make the ordinary aspects of Dick Winters seem extraordinary, rather than trying to play him as an overtly extraordinary man. Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Band of Brothers: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Jana Monji Age of the Geek This series is both sensitive and simplistic and its variations on Whiteness while okay in 2001, in 2024 reminds one of all the stories of minorities that were left out of the narrative of World War II. Rated: 2/5 Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Band of Brothers: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand It won six Emmy Awards (out of nineteen nominations) and is, simply put, one of the most powerful and captivating portraits of men in war ever put on screen.

I believe this is one of if not the best show eve produced Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Mainak M Band of Brothers is a gripping World War II miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. It follows Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment from training to major battles like D-Day. The series stands out for its historical accuracy, strong character development, and outstanding performances, particularly by Damian Lewis and Ron Livingston. Exceptional cinematography and special effects vividly capture the chaos of war. Interviews with actual veterans add emotional depth. This miniseries is a powerful tribute to the courage and sacrifice of WWII soldiers, making it essential viewing for history and drama enthusiasts. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review A S Easily one of the best period shows ever. I'd be hard pressed to see a better war movie or show. 100% worth the watch. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/07/24 Full Review Lasse L Most war movies focus on the horrors and while that's also here Band of Brothers manages to capture the many different aspects of actually going to war (I think, I can't speak from personal experience). The show is also thoroughly engaging and i'm always super impressed when people manage to adapt real events in a dramatically satisfying way - the shifting perspectives from episode to episode was a smart decision. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
