This review contains spoilers for the second episode of Band of Brothers entitled "Day of Days".
Day of Days starts with the D-Day para-drops. Easy Company has been loaded into C-47s and is en-route to France. The company is dropped into France amidst anti-aircraft fire and Germans occupying France. Easy Company is scattered and must locate other parts of the company and form a cohesive fighting force.
Day of Days is a great start into why some people watch war movies: the action. The episode highlights Richard Winters played by Damian Lewis. He organizes what men he could find to begin establishing a front against the Germans. He finds others in boot-camp and they try to fight the Germans. The series shows the tactics that Easy Company used especially in the last scene with the paratrooper assault on the 8.8 centimeter German artillery guns. This scene and the scene leading up to it are great.
The series high production values is shown here with the great costumes, props, and sets. The viewers feels like they are in France.
The second episode of Band of Brothers is highly recommended.
Grade: A
