Canucks - Band of Brothers

[LostSoul]

If you haven't yet seen this show, watch it now that it's on Global. It's brilliant.

I've read the book, and the show seems to be pretty spot on.

I'm not a Canuck, but I have to say that, having seen it last year when HBO originally ran it, Band of Brothers is unquestionably 10 of the greatest hours EVER produced for television. Period.

My 12 year old daughter watched every single episode with me and she is far from into that kind of stuff. She refused to miss an episode, though, and was fascinated, stunned, awed, moved, saddened, etc. by the sheer magnitude of it all...

But above all else, she loved it and she asked questions.

And the DVDs come out on November 11th.

Indeed. Private Ryan dedication and production standards, without the Hollywood storyline. No rose-coloured glasses - war is dirty and nasty - and reasonable rather than gratuitous patriotism.
