Band of Brothers stands on it's own as amongst the greatest series of all time, regardless of genre. Extremely well done.

Rome was great, but not military specific.

Funny how the greatest WWII movie ever was an HBO mini series.

P.S. Thanks for the FREE PUB about something I've never seen. Now I will have to watch it.

Favorite episode I think was Bastogne centered on the medic.

Band of Brothers probably hit closer to home than any military thing I've ever watched. My grandfather was a Captain in the US Infantry and served in France, Belgium and Germany from Aug 1944- May 1945. He wasn't airborne but got 2 silver stars, 2 bronze stars and 2 purple hearts and was in a lot of the same battles as the 101st was. He died when I was only 3 so I never got to hear the stories first hand. But watching this series was probably one of the best ways to see what it was like.

The Pacific was disappointing because of Band of Brothers

And while @YellowSnow is right that Rome isn’t technically a series about the military I think it deserves an honorable mention.

AMIRITE @Octavian?

She had me at tits in the first episode of Rome, though the ancient Romans were a little too greasy for my tastes. But still....

I would do my level best to absolutely blow the back out of it.
