I had heard of it but never watched it just like I have heard of Game of Thrones but never watched it. Just because something is highly acclaimed doesn't mean it's great for everyone. Just asking for opinions.

Meeks don't let the low life's bother you. Click on their name and hit the ignore button and all the sudden they no longer exist! Simple solution.

Looking for a new show to watch and came across Band of Brothers on Amazon Prime. Has anyone watched it and is it worth the time?
Yes definitely. Best of all, it's based on true events and you get to see and hear the actual guys tell their stories. They are intertwined with series. Hard to imagine you will ever see a better made war show. Highly recommend.

The Paddock will become a lonely place for Meeks if he ignores everyone who is a smart *** or sarcastic around here.

I just don't come over here too often because most guys aren't as funny as they think they are. It's just that some mods will let some guys post about anything on the basketball board but move others posts over here if it isn't basketball related so I have learned if it's non basketball related to put it here to start with.

Getting back to the original topic I am on episode 5 and you guys are correct it is one of the best war series I have watched. Thanks for the recommendations.

When you're finished, check out "The Pacific". It's from the same creators as "Band of Brothers". While not as good as "BoB", it's still good in it's own right.

A touch off topic but I am a big fan of Ken Burns stuff starting with The Civil War and he has produced some truly great films after that landmark documentary.

In a few weeks he will be premiering The Vietnam War and the previews look like another excellent production.

Looking forward to adding it to the DVR to do list.
