Collider Ladies Night's video: Why You Should Binge One of the Best WWII Dramas Ever on Netflix

War has been portrayed on the small screen countless times, but few shows have tapped into its brutality and drama as well as HBO's Band of Brothers. If you've never seen it, then today's your lucky day — this classic just made its way onto Netflix. This beloved WWII miniseries first aired in September 2001 and has lived on, not only in the hearts of those who study history but by audiences everywhere as one of the greatest achievements in television history. Between its historical accuracies, grand storytelling scale that TV hardly ever captures, expert filmmaking, action set pieces, and quick pace, now is the perfect time to lock in and binge Band of Brothers in its entirety. Leading up to the early 2000s, whenever war was portrayed on screen, it was usually seen on a small scale. Shows like M*A*S*H* steered clear from the battlefield and took us to bases where the greater conflict was more of a backdrop for the events taking place. The historical moments that these programs would take place during sometimes took on a grave tone, but even then, it took a long time for TV to be able to portray anything too dark. Still, there were occasionally battles put on screen on shows like Combat!, whose name literally calls back to this side of war. In the case of Combat!, that show was made at a time when television production hadn't become too advanced yet. Budgets didn't and couldn't call for gargantuan action set pieces. That side of war was saved for the movies.
