Crew
Episodes
Easy Company goes through training under the leadership of a captain who relentlessly pushes them to their limits but may be limited as a leader in the field.
Easy Company paratroopers jump behind enemy lines in Normandy on D-Day and struggle to reunite in hostile territory.
Easy Company takes on German troops in the French town of Carentan, and the battle takes its toll on one soldier who is badly traumatized by the experience.
With the addition of many new men, Easy Company heads to Holland to participate in Operation Market Garden and prepare an Allied route into Germany, but they meet stiff German resistance.
Winters writes a report on the challenge of an unexpected resistance to a German attack, and is haunted by his conscience after shooting a teenage German SS soldier.
In the dead of winter, the men of Easy Company fend off frostbite and hunger - in addition to the enemy - while holding the line in a forest outside of Bastogne. Meanwhile, exhausted medic Eugene Roe finds friendship with a Belgian nurse.
Easy Company remains in the Ardennes Forest preparing for an inevitable attack on German forces in the town of Foy. However, morale is low due to cold weather, constant shelling, poor leadership, and numerous casualties.
Easy Company is in Hagenau in February 1945, where they prepare for a night patrol mission to capture German prisoners. The patrol includes one veteran who is despised for missing Bastogne and a new lieutenant fresh out of West Point.
As the Allies move into Germany and the war comes closer to an end, disillusionment and anger set in for Easy Company - until they stumble onto a concentration camp abandoned by the German military.
As the Germans surrender, it appears that the hard days for Easy Company are over when they are stationed in Austria. However, they soon learn that those soldiers without enough service points will be sent to fight in Japan.

Notes
WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on the book by Stephen E. Ambrose, "Band Of Brothers" is the Golden Globe-winning 10-part HBO series about the volunteer parachute regiment who found themselves at the forefront of World War II. Starting with their rigorous training in Georgia in 1942, it recounts the achievements of the elite rifle company from D-Day to the fall of Nazi Germany, and the surrender of Japan. (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVDs offer imagery that has been stylized to take the viewer back in time to its setting. Colors are slightly muted and occasionally resemble a blurry old photograph, with dull green army fatigues and soft similar colors throughout. Skies are often blown out, additionally contributing to the overall look of the series. Despite the intentionally soft look, details can be nicely presented. Film grain is retained and effectively adds a gritty texture to the picture. Each part of the series starts off with a brief set of reflective interviews that have a clean and sharp, you-are-there appearance. There are some instances of pixelization and shimmering artifacts, but nothing that is too offensive. The distraction of edge enhancement is minimal. This is a visually engulfing series that takes you to the heart of its subject. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
Though originally created for television, the 5.1-channel audio presentations offer substantial dimensionality and prowess in the low-end. Depending on the episode, the latter can be particularly powerful in nature, with prominent .1 LFE engagement and downright intense pulses of deep bass, with sub-25 Hz extension all around. Overall, the audio has been very well recorded, especially with respect to the dialogue. Voices have a compelling, natural tonal presence and remarkably good spatial placement, notably in open, outdoor settings. The Michael Kamen music score is a very nice recording, with ample expansiveness across the screen and notable surround envelopment. The surrounds range from being gentle in activity for conveying ambience, to being aggressive with prominent stereo separation. The DTS Digital Surround version sounds a little more articulate with both the low-end and spatial reproduction. This is a wonderful soundtrack production that excels in terms of presentation and the rendering of the sheer intensity of war. (Perry Sun)
