Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, this miniseries clearly shows the influence of Saving Private Ryan, but provides an even richer experience.
Like Private Ryan, this takes the viewer into the middle of the battles, often chaotic, bloody, brilliantly filmed, and all the more impressive that this was made for TV.
The cast are excellent, though if there's a flaw, it can sometimes be hard of keeping track of who's who among the supporting characters.
The most heart-wrenching episode brings us more in the vein of Schindler's List, as Easy Company discover a concentration camp.
There is not a duff episode in the 10-part series. Even the final episode, taking place after Germany has surrendered, ends the show on a high.
