Band of Brothers

The iconic war show on HBO was the first TV show that I did this past February during the Sunday Morning Sidewalk. I watched an episode a week every Sunday and I enjoyed it tremendously.

The show focused on the true story behind the Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army. The show was executive produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

It was ten episodes and each one of them was excellent.

The cast included Damian Lewis as Major Richard D. Winters, Ron Livingston as Captain Lewis Nixon, Michael Cudlitz as Sgt. Denver Randleman, Scott Grimes as Sgt. Donald Malarkey, and Donnie Wahlberg as 1st Sgt. C. Carwood Lipton. The ensemble also includes Neal McDonough as Capt. Lynn D. Compton, Rick Gomez as Sgt. George Luz, James Madio as Staff Sgt. Frank Perconte, and Shane Taylor as Staff Sgt. Eugene Roe.
