Summary: A richly-acclaimed World War II drama, and one that deserved the many plaudits it garnered, "Band Of Brothers" remains as compelling, gripping and moving as it was when it first appeared over half a decade ago. And now it makes a very welcome debut in high definition.
Across ten haunting episodes, "Band Of Brothers" follows the real-life story of the American army?s Easy Company, an elite paratrooper regiment, from their initial training through to the very end of the war. Along the way, not only do Easy Company take part in some of the most infamous battles and events of the War, but they also suffer many, often brutal losses. And "Band Of Brothers" pulls no punches in putting those moments across on screen.
But that?s not, ultimately, what "Band Of Brothers" is about. At it's heart, this is the tale of a group of men relying on one another to get them through unthinkable situations. And this camaraderie is brilliantly put across by the generally unknown cast of actors, many of whom turn in outstanding performances here.
The quality production values are sustained behind the camera, as "Band Of Brothers"? episodes are directed by the likes of Tom Hanks, Phil Alden Robinson ("Field of Dreams") and David Leland ("The Devil Wears Prada"). The show gives all the impression that little expense was spared in depicting the right visual look, and the results are on screen to be admired.
In short, "Band of Brothers" remains a vital, brilliant piece of television drama, and one that will stick in your mind long after the credits have rolled on the final episode. --"Jon Foster"
