Hard to imagine how everything could possibly be in the series, but the story of these courageous airmen deserves to be told.
I was unfamiliar with the book prior to hearing about this mini-series - good to hear they are using good source material.
I read the book "Band of Brothers" (granted, after I'd first seen the HBO mini-series). Although there are obviously a few discrepancies (and even with a 9-hour miniseries, they couldn't include everything), it's remarkably faithful to the book.
IMHO, "Band of Brothers" is one of the best - it not
the best - WW II movie series ever. "Pacific" was good, but (again, IMHO) not nearly as good as "BoB".
I hope the team can return to their BoB form for this one.
