BoB is a GOAT series. So freaking good.
It was cool talking to my Dad, who loved BoB, and hearing about locations where his Dad served in France and Belgium and where those locations were covered in the show. That added another level to this for me.
Bastogne episodes haunted me. Watching those guys freeze to death all winter, knowing at any moment they’re quite likely to have a mortar shell blow their foxhole to smithereens... really spoke to me. Some damn great acting and directing to make it really come to life.
My only gripe is that the series peaked more towards the middle, but I actually prefer than then the build up to a big ending that usually comes off cliche. The scene where they discovered the Holocaust camp was unnerving. I’m going to watch this again pretty soon.
Hype to go see 1917 in a couple weeks. Might consider watching the Pacific. Heard mixed reviews on Dunkirk, what do you guys think?
