This WWII drama changed TV forever.
The Big Picture War has been portrayed on the small screen countless times, but few shows have tapped into its brutality and drama as well as HBO's Band of Brothers. If you've never seen it, then today's your lucky day — this classic just made its way onto Netflix. This beloved WWII miniseries first aired in September 2001 and has lived on, not only in the hearts of those who study history but by audiences everywhere as one of the greatest achievements in television history.
'Band of Brothers' Brought Accurate Battles to the Small Screen If you wanted to see an accurate battle, then you'd need to direct your attention to the movies. By the '90s, there were a number of thrilling, engaging war movies that had come out of several decades, even going back to the 1930s. The original All Quiet on the Western Front, adapted in 1930, was the rare case of a '30s movie that wasn't afraid to show the horrors of combat.
What Is 'Band of Brothers' About? Band of Brothers, and the 1992 book that it was adapted from, both follow the story of "Easy" Company, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. We go with the soldiers that make up "Easy" from basic training all the way until the end of World War II.
