You have to use their VPN to watch?

Spent the last week watching entire series.

Must be 8 or 9th time

Extraordinarily well done

Schwimmer should have received an Emmy for his portrayal of Herbert Schobel. Schwimmer is insufferable as Schobel—as he was meant to play him, I’m sure. But he is the key to binding the audience with the other main characters that go on to their night drop on D-Day.

Not only is the show on right now, it appears it'll be on for the rest of the day and most of the night.
About damned time they showed something (especially military), besides the Pickers, Pawners and idiots digging holes looking for non-existent treasure.

“Please use our VPN to watch this channel!” shows up in red and does not let me play the stream. No play arrow.

I saw it on HBO when it first aired. I bought a copy of this great series too. I enjoy it.

No. I am Proton VPN. There is a free version.

I don't know how many here are aware of this, but one can get books, prints, etc., written and signed by the actual participants.

Most have passed on now, so the prices are a little higher, but still a good thing to have.

Can they possibly have more commercial breaks?

I read the book years ago. When someone urged me to watch the miniseries, I stated that I didn’t subscribe to HBO and never would (mostly pornography).

So I bought the DVD set.

I was hooked.

I enjoyed “Band of Brothers” so much, I took the Steven Ambrose Tours “Band of Brothers” tour. We met in Atlanta, visited Camp Toccoa (now an industrial park), climbed Mt. Currahee (in a van), flew to England, took a ferry to Cherbourg, and followed in the footsteps of “Easy Company.” One of our guests was Pvt. Ed Mauser, 2nd Platoon, Easy Company. I have a photo of Pvt. Mauser standing in a foxhole in the Ardennes. Near the end of the tour, we had lunch at Hitler’s “Eagles Nest.”

It was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Sadly, Pvt. Mauser passed away shortly after we came home.

Any more, and the show would be an interuption to all the commercials!

IMO, the best series ever filmed.

Is it fairly clean language-wise? Looking for a good series for my FIL who loves history, but a lot out there is gory or has a lot of language, which bothers him
