What to expect from the two mini-series coming to Netflix

While the films might not have many similarities except for being an HBO and war series, they were both extremely praised and recognized when they first came out. With almost a ten-year difference between the series, it is surprising that they are both held in the same regard.

Band of Brothers first came out in 2001 and garnered a ton of attention due to the mere fact that it was created by directors, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. It also helped that the cast was filled with well-known names. The mini-series was so good that it bagged both an Emmy and an Oscar. On the other hand, The Pacific came out nearly ten years later in 2010, and was nothing short of an absolute stunner. The mini-series was adapted from the memoirs of two different authors and focuses on the story of Marines navigating their way against the Japanese in the Pacific theater.
