It has been over 20 years since the HBO World War II miniseries, created by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and based on the book of the same name by Stephen A. Ambrose, originally aired. Despite the time that has ed, the show regularly still lands on lists of the greatest-ever TV shows. Band of Brothers follows E Company, a group of paratroopers within the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, from their early days of training through the end of the war in 1945.

Band of Brothers is more than a simple war show: it's about camaraderie, the human spirit, and the unthinkable conditions — both physical and mental — that war put those men in. The actors in the show all play real soldiers who served in the war, some of whom appear in the series in interview segments where they recall their experiences. Over 10 episodes, Band of Brothers portrays Easy Company during the D-Day landings and Operation Market Garden, their brutal winter spent holding the Allied line in Bastogne, and finally their capture of Nazi Party's "Eagle's Nest" in Bavaria and the end of the war. The talented Band of Brothers cast brought it all to life with expertise.
