Contents of BoB: 10 parts + Bonus episodes = Complete satisfaction.
BoB starts off with a bang with "Curahee" and continues its relentless pace of action throughout the majority of the series. It also has a few episodes where you have a chance to catch your breath like "Bastogne" and "Points". It has full action-packed episodes like "Day of Days", "Carentan", "The Breaking Point" and "The Last Patrol". The series really stuck a chord with me because of the realism and accuracy shown to the viewers. I really felt emotionally attached to the men of "Easy Company" and all the emotions that the soldiers felt was be sensed by me. The sets are perfect, the effects are remarkable {war visuals were the most stunning you will ever see}, and the background score connected well with the series. I'm not an American but all the Americans should be mighty proud of the sacrifices these Men made for today's generation. I felt inspired by these guys {just look at their faces...18-19 yr olds fighting a war so that others can sleep peacefully}. Not to forget the EDITING of the series. It was truly an outstanding idea to bring in the real War-Veterans on the show and add their interviews to it. Also, the idea of showing the significance of each part before the credits was fantastic.
Few of the lines in the series were truly remarkable and hair-raising like the following: "For he who today sheds his blood with me...shall be my brother" and many more to list down {basically, whatever the Veterans said touched me deeply}.
But my favourite conversation will always remain: ***
Do you remember the letter that Mike Ranney wrote me?
...You do?
Do you remember how he ended it?
''l cherish the memories of a question my grandson asked me the other day. . .when he said, 'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?'
Grandpa said, 'No. . .but l served in a company of heroes.' ''
*** The above statements appear at the end of the 10th part and from the first time I heard till date, I always cry hard...Its the most touching line I've ever heard in a motion picture {there have been many great lines but this one comes straight from the bottom of the heart and pierces right through my soul}. Speechless!!!
Overall, this series is a great achievement in the history of Motion-Picture, according to me.

There is always a small group of people who oppose to the widely accepted HIT movies or T.V.Shows. Currently BoB has 9.6/10 on the IMDb and I will never understand what is there not to like in BoB. I know its the matter of opinion and these things are always subjective BUT after reading a few HATE comments, I realised none of them had a SOLID point to dislike the series. Most of the comments were just repeating the "It was BORING" crap without giving one clear explanation of why they felt that way. I pity these people, who IMO were switched off while watching this series and that could've let them to hate it. All I can say is these people missed out on a very rare and special series and if they ever read my comment please for your own sake try to watch this again with more open mindness and maybe you will understand why its rated so highly.
BUY these DVDs and keep them with you for the rest of your life...I'm sure you will watch them 'N' number of times.
My rating: 9.9/10
