I was not expecting to see this in my recommended. Y'all definitely need to watch the whole series.
Bruh i literally finished it like a week ago. We watched it at school.
@@highonmelk9544 amazing show
@watashi in the uncut reaction they all said many times they love/loved it and definitely want to watch the entire thing.
Is patreon the cancer, or is youtube the cancer for making it harder and harder for their content creators to make money?
@watashi You were right. Shame that such a fantastic series is being ignored, but not exactly unexpected from a group who call themselves "normies". Yuck.
Oh shi... they gotta add this to their lineup.
It’s a phenomenal series.
Hard agree.
And from what it sounded like (to me anyway) during the intro, they didn't even plan on doing this because of the anniversary of D-Day. So, it seems pretty serendipitous. I really hope they do react to this one.
@@cfbg go away
9 episodes in 9 days please lol
Y’all won’t regret watching this! Greatest miniseries ever!
Their only watching one episode
This and The Pacific
Band of Brothers is 100% glorification. It is 100% completely murican show praising murica.
Tsögö Bauggi bruh it literally shows US war crimes in the series. Yeah it’s told from the perspective of US soldiers, but it’s definitely not all “America! Fuck yeah!”
@@tsogobauggi8721 it is kinda following an America company. Shouldn't exactly be expecting appropriate representation of other militaries. It's based of personal accounts
19:50 "Donnie Wahlberg is a much better actor than Mark Wahlberg." 100% yes.
I agree. He definitely doesn’t have that (I’m a bad ass thing goin on) Donnie did such a Great job in this show! I did like Mark in Patriots Day and Lone Survivor though
I agree Donnie Wahlberg is definitely a better actor than Mark
Donnie is more talented than Mark period. Donnie was in New Kids on the Block before acting. Mark had a one hit wonder in the early 90s and that's pretty much it.
Greatest mini-series ever made. I've watched it every Christmas for the last 15yrs.
Same!!!
Couldn’t agree more. And same but I watch it every Memorial Day.
May I ask why Christmas?
I watch it every year at Christmas too! Haha. I started watching it with my brothers (and the only time we were all together was Christmastime) and have just kept up the tradition myself.
I will be VERY surprised if you guys only watch 1 episode.
I WONT be surprised
I'll.. just be sad.
This is one of the best war time series ever created. I used to watch it all the time on my dad's old steel book collection. So so good. And sad. I cried like a bitch at times man. F.
They only did an episode of death note, they sadly arent doing more of this
They will definitely watch the rest. Sadly thats not the same as making reaction videos of them. :(
Have they done more than one episode of patreon requests before?
@@tejeskv I know they started watching the rest of Skam after a Patreon request
man if they don't end up watching the full series imma be so sad
Same
Imma also beings sad
Damn why only patreon request for this, you NEED to pick this up, one of the best shows ever
I requested this shit months ago xD
@watashi hey you can't blame them, they got bills to pay
Wait wait ANOTHER Patreon only. Thought I was gonna be back watching this channel again but both the shows I want to see are paywalled. Wtf is that shit
These paratroopers were tough as nails young men who had just gotten through the great depression. The extra fifty bucks meant a lot to them and their families.
The old veteran's in the beginning are the actual characters in the show
@Catherine yeah, that's what I meant.
9:55 Here's the interesting thing about Sobel that I noticed rewatching this series again. Look how it's filmed.
The true reason Sobel did the Spaghetti run was because of his rising antipathy toward Winters.
Sobel at this point was sensing that Winters was a better officer than him, and a better leader. Sobel was dismayed when Colonel Sink promoted Winters, and he worried that the men of Easy were forming more respect for Winters than for himself.
By putting Winters in charge of mess hall for two weeks and telling him to serve spaghetti, all the while planning to call a surprise Curahee run after the men gorged, Sobel was hoping the men would assume it was Winters' decision to serve spaghetti, and therefore blame him for the ordeal. Note the long, smug look Sobel gives Winters as the men are leaving the mess hall.
Winters, of course, once again proved himself the better leader by dressing to run Curahee too, alongside the men. Sobel didn't expect that, which is why he double-taked when he saw Winters running.
@watashi Not everyone can spot certain things when it comes to filming.
My favorite shots in this episode pertaining to how the men really feel about Sobel is when Luz mimics major Horton. Tipper, Sobel’s map holder, immediately recognizes his buddies are tricking the CO, steers Sobel into thinking it’s major Horton, and proceeds to smirk and chuckle during the whole ordeal. Sobel’s methods, while over the top and not well thought out at times, made the men of Easy come together and is what would ultimately save the lives of its men.

Sobel’s methods, while over the top and not well thought out at times, made the men of Easy come together and is what would ultimately save the lives of its men.
My thoughts on why Sobel was such an ass was this: Throughout the episode, especially the scenes where they jump and are running training routes, you can tell Sobel is squeamish. He’s scared to jump out of the plane during their jump training, and he’s visibly nervous when giving commands and orders on where to go and how to lead. This to me shows that Sobel doesn’t really want to go to war, he’s scared of the war. So in my eyes Sobel is putting Easy company through hell because he wants them to fail. He gives them spaghetti because he wants them to fail the Curahee run, he tells winters to find wrong doings in the company even if he has to make them up, he makes up bogus reasons to make easy company look like a failing group of soldiers, he blames winters for their failure so he because he sees that winters is their ‘actual’ leader and so if you bring him down the whole ship sinks. Sobel wants them to fail so that he doesn’t have to go to war and lead them because ultimately he doesn’t want to go because he is scared. So when he sees that easy company is ACTUALLY a great group of hard working soldiers that can go through his bullshit you can see he is visibly worried. I could be wrong but that’s how I viewed it on my second watch
@danielreyes2796 A good theory, but there are a couple of points against it. For one, Sobel's reaction to Sink telling him he's been resigned is earnest. The look on his face and his tone of voice is that of indignant surprise as well as feeling betrayed rather than relief.
It's pointed out several times throughout the episode that Sobel, in his arrogance, vanity and pride, wanted to make E company the best in the 501st. Not out of consideration for the men or their safety, mind, but for the completely selfish reason of being able to claim himself as the best company officer with the most efficient company in the regiment. This is established as having been his one goal since long before the actual training began.
Historically speaking the actual men from Easy company have spoken about how Sobel felt betrayed by Winters and the rest of the company, and how he became embittered and carried a grudge with him all throughout the rest of his military career. This has been substantiated by people who worked with him since.
It seems more likely that Sobel had built up this idea in his mind that he was going to be some great war hero and lead Easy to victory after victory, and whenever one of the men under his command somehow didn't fit the image in his mind, then his reaction was to try breaking them, either so they'd fail out or 'shape up'. This sort of mentality would obviously put him at odds with his men, who'd see him as a living nightmare rather than an officer they could look to for guidance.
Sobel's biggest fault, of course, was the fact that he completely collapsed under pressure during field exercises, making poor tactical decisions, misreading maps and what have you. Not only that, but he either lacked the introspective nature to see these faults in himself, or flat out ignored them, which put the lives of the men under his command at risk.
OMG!!!!!! totatlly run this show out. . its only 10 episodes ad its truly amazing! the first episode is oddly the lesser episode of the show. . and its still a good episode
Definitely. All the episodes before the war are amazing.
Agreed! And after they finish this I'm secretly hoping they watch The Sopranos. While you're in HBO might as well watch two of the greatest shows ever made
Can't upvote the continuation of this show reaction enough. Saw this for the first time a decade ago, love it just as much now.
It's amazing just how stacked this cast ended up being in retrospect. So many familiar faces.
Great cast, and was shocked how amazing Donnie Wahlberg was, I remember seeing him in random and thinking he was a decent actor but, wow, he was fantastic in this.
*ransom
Yeah amazing to see it has Simon Pegg, Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy. They are even bigger than the main cast of BoB now.
normies only watch 1 ep, while they are dedicated to watching like 100 different long ass anime
Fubar ikr lmao they can’t “dedicate themselves” to watch ten episodes? I get that it’s their time but, why even post one episode then?
@@dukerrr they posting it now
I legitimately just watched this for like the 10th time a week ago. This is a show that should be continued.
i probably watched it 8 times...it's so good...
It can't really be continued. It's a true story and the series told it. There is, using the broadest definition, a kind of sequel in The Pacific. Not as good as brothers, but an amazing story and good cast.
@@snerdterguson continued as in they should continue watching.
@@snerdterguson Yeah I mean continued as in they should keep up with the reactions for this. I watched The Pacific when it was released back in the day. It was good but, Band of Brothers was better as it followed this group of men from beginning to end, you really felt you were going along with them throughout the war.
I know that it was a Patreon request, but if you want to continue making reactions to it, what is stopping you?
time, editing mostly
Probably copyright
Too many anime shows they react too.
Greed
@@RevanBC Facts, I couldn't care less about that crap.
This is one of my favorite series of all time. I rewatch it regularly. Tom Hanks, it turns out, is a huuuge WWII buff, and he has a small cameo in a later episode that you can just barely catch if you're really watching.
This is such a great series.
Watched it 10 times never noticed him ! :o
His son is in it to
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg collaborated on Saving Private Ryan with historian Stephen E Ambrose as technical consultant. Ambrose wrote two seminal books on the subject of the paratroopers Citizen Soldiers and Band Of Brothers. Following the success of Private Ryan, Hanks decided to use his connections at HBO to push through this miniseries as producer. He directed an episode (as he did with From The Earth To The Moon) and appears for a couple of seconds in a crowd scene in one episode.
There is a reason HBO got a reputation for incredible cable TV shows. B.o.B. was next level programming.
Guys...PLEASE continue watching this and post your reactions on youtube...especially your reactions to the actual vets comments/experiences they had.
Yes. The veteran interviews add SO MUCH to the viewing experience.
The actors went through a week or something of military training. They even called each other by their character-name during the whole training.
Not just military training, they went through basic parachutist training as well.
OMG! You *have* to watch the complete mini-series. You're gonna love it. My favorite show of all times, it's so well-written, well-acted and well-directed. Also, it's great that you uploaded this on the anniversary of D-Day, well played there ;)
You guys should watch this whole thing. Also, it's all based on real events and all the interviews are from Easy company soliders
We stand alone together i think it’s called
Based on a book by the same name. Book has a lot more stories and much more detailed than the show. Both are amazing, if you liked the show you will love the book
Normies!!!
You guys absolutely NEED to do reactions to all 10 episodes! Easily one of the greatest series/mini-series of all time.
And episode 2 really picks things up!!
1. Damian Lewis one of my all-time favorite actors. 2) I agree, Donnie is a better actor than Mark. BTW - Fun fact for those who don't know: Damian's wife is Helen McCrory - Polly on Peaky Blinders.
Christianson (the guy who drank from his canteen) played by Michael Fassbender.
Agreed on Donnie. I hate Mark Wahlberg as an actor.
Damn, I wish this show was animated so they would watch more than one episode.
Easily one of the GOATs including all movies/series and animated shows that are out there and they don't finish it. Sad how the react to trash like Agents of Shield, Mr. Robot, The 100 etc. (only trash compared to BoB mind you) but not BoB.
Yeah, it's sad that grown ass men would rather watch fake ass cartoon heroes than reall life ones...
@@CarolP07 Dunno man, I am more pissed at all the low quality non-animated shows they watch, there's some really dumb shit in there. Atleast the anime they watch are above average.
Please react to the whole series 🙏
This is up there with GOT. Stephen Ambrose wrote the book about Easy Company and the veterans you see interviews are the actual soldiers this is about. Enjoy this series. It is one of the best ever.
YES!!!!! Band of Brothers is SO GREAT! Fantastic that you guys are reacting to this!!!! THANK YOU!
I had study hall during during HS on 9/11.
Our teacher was also the JROTC commander at the school.
He made us watch this during class for 2 months.
This and "dead poets society" were the only time I saw a class full of misfits shut up, pay attention and even shed a few tears.
So glad you’re reacting to this. My uncle played Alex Penkala in this show!!
hats off !!!
Omg, this is one of those shows where I became so attached to the characters. I remember finishing this series just balling my eyes out! Definitely need to watch the whole series. The Pacific is pretty good too
The major Horton impression and fence cutting really happened too
According to the book, it happened at night. Sobel cut through many fences. Also it wasn't Luz, its unknown who did it.
Here I go watching this series for the 10th time again lol
Hats off to one of the greatest series of all time
All the interviews are 'characters' in the show too, but you don't know who right away so it doesn't spoil the events. Pretty cool to rewatch.
This is probably the best 10 episodes of television ever.
How do you not finish this masterpiece 😱
Thanks for reacting to this. Band of Brothers is amazing and it deserved every award it got.
I sincerely hope whoever edits Normies vids continues to put up a still image of Suraj if he insists on wearing his hat like that.
ikr last person I saw someone wear that shit like that was a fucking teen in the middle of puberty who didn't know how dumb that looks lmao =D.
Whats wrong with the hat?
Sai Kaushal looks cringe
Quit your bitching.
Guys please start doing more of these reaction requests as regular reactions! PLEASE. Letterkenny and Band of Brothers are two solid shows nobody else are doing. From a personal point of view I LOVE your live series reactions and would like to see more. Not an anime guy myself. Not complaining mind you, I just hope to see you guys give us non anime fans some new varied content too. Love you guys!
Well they gotta make money so I doubt it.
@@Zenapprentice Most of their money comes from patreon.
Watch Jimmy Macram. He has reacted to the whole mini-series
Band of Brothers is the best mini series/TV show/Documentary I’ve ever seen. It’s incredible. This might be the best company of soldiers ever assembled in the military. Toughest group of dudes ever.
Where's the goddamn 2 episode Mr Sobel?
Dear John letters were when the girl was writing to the soldier to break up with them, for whatever reason.
Thanks again for my Request normies enjoy band of Brothers guys
Enjoy. This great miniseries is a Memorial Day tradition in my family. My dad, brother, and I rewatch the series every year to honor the brave men who fought and died so that we could live in a free world. It is also fitting y'all should download the video on the 76th anniversary of D-Day.
Currahee is the motto of 506th Regiment and is derived from the Cherokee language, meaning "We Stand Alone".
8:41-Those men who came up behind him didn't have to run up Currahee with him; they did it because they're a band of brothers.
I am also a fan of Man in the High Castle and enjoy it because it's one of the few (if not the only) alternate history that shows how an Axis victory would involve Japan. The last few minutes of the series finale, however, were bad.
I never comment but this genuinely surprised me. I'm so excited you guys started this series.
I always laugh when I hear “Oh that dog just ain’t gonna hunt”. George Lutz is hilarious throughout this show.
I love this miniseries. I hope you guys do end up reacting to the whole thing.
If you look at the credits you will see the name Stephen E. Ambrose as an executive producer. He wrote the book Band of Brothers and taught me history at the University of New Orleans. He used the money from this to start the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. The Museum is a must see in New Orleans.
You guys won’t be disappointed. One of the best mini series ever created. You get to know each member of easy company so well and become very attached and invested. The old service men being interviewed are each of those characters. They only reveal who is who at the end and it’s incredible.
It's not a controversial opinion, just wait until you see the whole thing. The range and depth Donnie shows in BoB is extraordinary.
The best miniseries of all time. I highly suggest the whole thing. Only 10 episodes.
YES YES YES I have NEVER clicked a thumbnail so fast! This series is amazing, please do the whole thing!
I’ve seen Band of Brothers at least 5x over. Just absolutely phenomenal. And the book was amazing too.
Finally! This is one of the best and most amazing shows. ever.
You'll see.
Should be noted the show has a documentary called" We stand alone together"
@watashi already have months ago
NOOOOO!!! I just watched this for the first time a couple months back ( I know I’m late) and it was amazing. Would have never thought I would see this pop by y’all, but 100% here for it!❤️🤍💙❤️
Holy shit this series is absolutely amazingg, yall really should continue this, wont even mind if yall do it in private, it is soooo worth watching
When you finish band of brothers it would be great to go into The Pacific, one covers the war in Europe and one covers the Pacific Front (obviously)
When is episode 2 getting uploaded?
This series was out for awhile before I decided to watch it. I had not expect to love it. Excellent
You guys gotta watch the whole thing, its amazing!
OMG! No you didn't!!!! Please watch THE PACIFIC after this, all time fave! I miss the old setup I hope everything will go back to normal soon where you can react in one place. BLINDWAVE already did 😍 though with social distancing. 😅
And this is a good example why Reaction videos have lost appeal - it became a big thing a few years back and you couldn't open RUclips without falling over a new one but back then it was cool, people were invested in the shows they were reacting too and you wanted to see if they reacted the same way you did.
Now it seems all of them are in it just for the money - taking requests, all of them having Patreons or whatever other site they use to get donations (on top of RUclips monetization) and it has apparently become their job. Why should i watch someone or a group of people doing their job?
In this case they clearly have little interest in the show, they are constantly checking their phones and they have next to no knowledge about the military (not that it is a prerequisite to watch any show but they come across kinda "uninformed" when they refer to the Jump Wings they earn in this episode as a Medal).
I got into reactions after GoT season 8 episode 3. Just needed to see other people freak out over “the drop.” I really feel like I found this genre at its absolute height. Hogwarts stopped reacting. Normies watch old anime. Blind wave desperately wants you to check them out on Twitch. Patreon has made it impossible to be timely with releases, and therefore impossible to be RELEVANT.
They were good back then. Now its just plain boring and stupid. And it shows. Stopped watching them a week ago. But Kat and Sonny brought me back here. Looking at these comments reaffirms my convictions. They r now one of those reaction channels that r just plain boring and stupid. They can't commit. And when they do, its a jumbled mess. A mess they unnecessarily made to themselves.
"Gonorrhea" was the nickname of "Wild" Bill GUARNERE ;) R.I.P.
I used to watch this when I was a kid. I've watched it countless times. That will make these reactions so much sweeter. Awesome
Where did this come from - the best miniseries I've ever watched
The running joke about Guarnere wasn't that he had gonorrhea, it's that his name sounds like gonorrhea.
Sobel is shown making obvious jokes about soldier's names which shows that he had a crap sense of humor. He makes fun of Malarkey too.
Oh man, Band of Brothers. The GOAT.
Y'all better finish this damned series! It's so good, and you're two episodes behind!!!
#3 rated show on imdb. This is an absolute classic, and if you guys haven't seen it you're missing a golden chance for a reaction.
So... You guys just left this, because of Patreon.. That's just... Dumb...
Americans.
One of the best shows I've still seen incredible cast amazing production value and characters you really care about
It’s been so long, watched this in middle school. Y’all are in for a treat you will cry but you will also laugh.
Yess finally somebody is reacting to band of brothers ..my fav serie about war pls continue with this btw great reactions guys
Only ep 1 tho
@watashi yes i have watched her reactions already..thx anyway
Yes! This made my day. This is an amazing mini series. I can't wait to rewatch it on your channel.
Thank you for doing the first episode of BoB! I really hope you’ll continue this mini-series. One of my favorite shows for sure!
I really hope you guys continue with this series. It’s one of my all-time favourite mini-series and wouldn’t take too long to complete.
63k views ain't worth continuing i guess. Such a shame.
They have continued it on their patreon! Idk if they’ll post it on RUclips eventually, but they are watching it.
Where is the episode 2 reaction
I am SO happy y’all are doing this! It truly is unforgettable!
Bruh I’ve been waiting for this day for so long 🙏🏻 my favorite mini-series of all time
Please, it's only like 10 episodes. Watch the whole thing, one of the most incredible series ever made.
YES FINALLY!!!!
100% never thought you guys would do this and now I’m pumped!!!
0:33 and today I learned that Nahid is ex military. Also you guys should do reactions to the entire show if you start now you can get it all done before the 4th of July.
I was about yo watch this on HBO, the timing was perfect
@what and after finishing Yesterday, i did not regret It, hope they continue to react to the show, its really worth it
Why does this guy keep calling them rangers when they were the 101st airborne. Not the same. Rangers came in by boat onto the beach and took out the guns on the . 101st jumped in behind the line with the 82nd.
Oh shit Band of Brothers is such an amazing show! Every episode is a masterpiece of TV.
Just a pro tip: watch episode 2. It premiered the same night as "Currahee" wayyyyyy back in 2001 and is definitely a whole piece when watched back to back. This is an incredible show.
To be honest....this show always reminds me of that tragic event...Sept 11 2001.
The show started just two days before the attacks....and I think it helped all of us to carry on afterwards.
I was watching an episode out here in Greenwood IN about 2 or 3 weeks after and when I looked outside I saw a couple of pickups driving down the main road with American flags mounted on the back of each truck. Flags were popping up in everyone's car windows too.
Hope you carry on with this show....it's only 10 episodes. And the ending and reveals are such an awesome payoff.
RIP all of those WWII heros and to the 9/11 victims and first responders who lost their lives doing their jobs, not to mention still dying from the debre they breathed in.
I became a patreon, so i could get early access to ep 2................Fuck.
Curahee is a location in Georgia. 3 miles up, 3 miles down. Made for basic training.
Dude this is something I never thought they’d do. PLEASE keep doing this series you guys
Reactors who can't put their phones down for one episode of an amazing show. Yeah, this is high quality content...
nor stay til the end....
they do it to mute and unmute to talk to each other, or see if the call disconnects etc. nice assumption though
Normies - "saw some of it, so good, casting,directed by...SPR!"
(Looks up ALL facts on wiki b4 watching miniseries, talk it all out first, hold on,gotta pee, it's so sick, FASSBENDER!!! )
Normies:ONLY watches ep 1 😒
I was being a jerk. Not like you can easily pick up the whole collection easily en masse. Glad you're seeing the whole series. Hope you get a chance check out The Pacific.
Easy Company was in Operation Market Garden. I don't know if the show gets that far. That is the 'Bridge too Far'. They had a pretty good spot though. They were the first couple bridges not the poor bastards who got the last bridges.
Not that that was a picnic either. They got counter attacked by German units trying to cut the supply routes ahead of them. There was a German armor unit that nearly overran them a couple times.
Learning about D-Day's preparation is nuts, seriously. These guys were waiting around for a couple of days, expecting to drop into a warzone, and because of bad weather kept getting told 'not today, check again tomorrow,' while this entire operation was being kept an extreme secret. The lengths the Allies went to keep the Germans from figuring out that this invasion was going to happen is insane - and it was honestly a stroke of luck that only one person from Hitler's inner circle believed the site of the invasion would be Normandy (because they knew SOMETHING was coming, just.... didn't know what and where!).
Seriously though, it was entire operation to make the Germans think that it would be Calais, not Normandy.
I got so excited seeing this on my recommended!! I'm studying to become a history teacher, and WW2 is one of my favorite things to talk about
Can't wait for the next video!!
