Having seen Band of Brothers on BBC television,I am convinced that is by far one of the best television series ever. I am very interested in World War 2 history and when you watch this,you feel that history is shown as accurate as possible.This series,based on the book by Stephen Ambrose,which should be read in addition to watching the series,is brilliant. When you watch Band of Brothers,you are watching a series,that gives you an impression of what it must have been like for the soldiers,fighting in World War 2.The actors are all giving an excellent performance,in all of the 10 episodes,you are impressed by them. Als very important is the fact that the whole period is portrayed,as far as I can judge,very accurate.The uniforms,the weapons,vehicles,tanks,it feels as if you are transported back in time. Being from the Netherlands,I was very interested in the episodes about Easy company's fight in operation Market-Garden.The two episodes,give a very good impression about the fighting in Holland. Well I advise everyone interested in World War 2,to watch this series,because it is one of the best series or films ever made about the war.Watch it after you watch "Saving Private Ryan",although "Ryan" is a brilliant film,Band of Brothers is far better,because of the history and the feeling you get for the men of Easy-company. I also recommend the book by Stephen Ambrose and the book David Webster wrote about his experiences as a paratrooper in Easy company.
