Band of Brothers Rewatch

lol I meant to watch it over Xmas but I have been ill. The first time btw, I have had the set on BR for years but never got round to watching.
 
Remember really enjoying this. I think there was/is a sequel due this year?

E: Yup, Masters of the Air due out this year. First episode on Apple on the 26th.

Few weeks away, right? I'm looking forward to it but I don't expect it to be as good as BoB.

If it meets or exceeds The Pacific I'll be happy enough.
 
Yeah, you're not wrong. It's decent and I enjoyed the story but BoB I feel I can watch a fair few more times before I feel exhausted with it. I've only watched The Pacific twice but that was only because my partner never saw it. Didn't really need to watch it again.
 
Absolutely watch BoB. I have BoB, The Wire and Sopranos as joint #1 and the distance to #2 is quite some margin.

The Pacific is worth a watch if you're in the mood for 'more' but it's an obvious step back from BoB. It's good, it's just no BoB and after watching both you'd understand.

Do yourself a favour and watch it. I'm not even into war stuff really (wimpy little pacifist) but it's such a good viewing experience and makes you think. Honestly, the penultimate episode is so harrowing yet so poignant (is that the word? i dunno). First time I watched it I just remember not being able to look away from the screen yet wanting to look away.

I may have to watch it again even though I only watched it again last year
 
I was stuck in a hotel for 4 days a few months back (some political conflict going on in the city i was in so was told to not leave the room haha) and I powered through that and 'The Pacific' back-to-back, I'd watched them previously, both still excellent series...... If you've not seen 'Generation Kill' then I'd highly recommend that as well.
 
Is it on any streaming/catch up?

I know I'm probably going to get banned for this, but I only ever watched a couple of minutes of an episode or two the first time.......
 
I used to watch it traditionally every Christmas but that changed for some reason. So many memorable moments and characters - Ronald Speirs (Foy run!) was incredible.
