Easy Company jumps in to Normandy.
This is an exceptional episode of television that is highly compelling, well acted and (by Hollywood standards) contains a decent level of historical accuracy.
Opening interviews are very impactful before the episode starts. When you see a soldier become emotional when briefly referencing the loss of life it is more powerful than anything movie artistry can create.
The plot is impressively told from the perspective of Lieutenant Winters and although condensed for pacing, it mostly reflects historical records and claims.
Having not served in the military I am not qualified to comment how realistic the battle scenes are, but as a viewer they do put an audience in what feels like a brutal and chaotic situation. The jump scenes are terrifying to watch and the Brécourt Manor Assault is a great piece of technical filmmaking.
The cinematography, sound effects, editing, colour grading, costumes, props, music and special effects all come together to attack your senses.
Damian Lewis leads it wonderfully and is supported well by other cast members.
Band of Brothers tells an important story that hopefully prompts those who are unfamiliar with the events to find out more.
