I am also very excited for the release of this mini-series. However, I need to address some of the comments made by other users on this site. This is American-centric, no doubt. But you have to understand that it is being based on books written by American’s who fought these battles. The same is true of the original Band of Brothers. These mini-series’ are focusing on those stories, not stories from other nation’s warriors. Just because it is American-centric does not make it any less incredible or any less credible. Semper Fi Marines!

Was / I am a great fan of BoB and Im sure this will be equally as good. However the Americans regularly insult the other nations that fought in WW2 by either ignoring they existed or belittling there efforts. Many Australians & British fought the Japanease by I doubt they will get a mention.

Am very much looking forward to seeing this, I also was a big fan of BoB, this should be very interesting. Of particular interest to me was the role the U.S.Navy Seabee’s played in the Pacific, it would be wonderful to see them represented in this series.

“To see an eastern front series would be brilliant, maybe from the german side?”
Something like:

Now THAT would be something.

I thought band of brothers was brilliant, if a bit american-centric. Acting, music, battle scenes all good. And the battle scenes were very down to earth and realistic, not glorified like most crap these days. The only thing that annoys me is that its about the yanks again, who seem to think they were only ones to fight in the war. To see an eastern front series would be brilliant, maybe from the german side?

The best part about these is that gives you time to get to know some of the characters and also allows you to invest in the story. These would never work as a 2 hour movie but the fact that the quality is as good as the movies is what knocks these out of the park. I can not wait. Sign me up. Off topic – I would like to see a vietnam one. Even if it were after the war with flash backs. I love this war stuff when it is played realistic.

I’m not sure if the shot of whiskey I took prior to watching the trailer just hit me or if what I saw stirred something in me. Having been a fan of Band of Brothers and watching it through at least three times, I am most excited for this.

I am so pumped it looks amazing. I am sure they will do it right but how can they squeeze so much of the Pacific into 10 episodes ? cant wait……
