4 titles

  1. Band of Brothers (2001)
    Twenty-five on September 9. Ten hours, Easy Company, Normandy to the Eagle's Nest, and the veterans themselves opening every episode. Still the war story television measures itself against.
  2. The Pacific (2010)
    The other theater, and the harder watch. Less brotherhood, more mud, and a Eugene Sledge you will not forget.
  3. Masters of the Air (2024)
    The bomber crews, from the same producers. Austin Butler in a B-17 and a body count the first two shows never had to carry.
  4. Dead Eyes (2024), Headgum
    He was cast in Band of Brothers, then fired by Tom Hanks for having dead eyes. Twenty years later he made this: the funniest, saddest show about not being chosen.
