Why Band Of Brothers' D-Day Episode Is Still So Powerful, 23 Years On

HBO's celebrated miniseries Band of Brothers is full of powerful moments that continue to resonate long after the series first aired, yet 23 years on and 80 years after the event itself the show's D-Day episode remains one of its most effective. After completing their grueling training under David Schwimmer's draconian Captain Sobel in the show's opening, Easy Company board dozens of planes as they prepare for the invasion of northern France. This sets up the drama of episode 2, "Day of Days", which takes the D-Day story and offers an essential and intimate portrait of a specific aspect of the campaign.
