So many things are amazing in this ten episode miniseries that is incredibly detailed in all aspects by so much, I cannot list it all. Visual, sound, cinematography, the gritty but not unliveable compared to many other movies, violence of war. And then there's all the other things that no one shows. This is about Easy Company and the men serving under it. This is the journey they experienced with costly detailing from small and numerous in used time, to accessing the few remaining planes used for WW2 jumps.

Interesting....the final episodes were very enlightening when the American soldiers were stealing the silver and art work from the Nazi's....did these pieces belong to Jews which the Nazi's had first stolen . If so.. the Americans soldiers were no better than the Nazi's. The property didnt belong to them at all

Honestly the best TV series in existence. I highly doubt anything could ever top this glorious show. It really does the men of Easy Company justice in the way their war and the way they themselves were portrayed. First class until the end.
