The show is a classic but just want to raise the issue of Google discounting SD but not HD in their promotions. Who even watches SD anymore?? Just discount the HD and take my money already. Will stay on the wishlist until Google get to grips with reality. Apple and Amazon prices/offers are consistently more reasonable.

An amazing TV show ruined by the shoddiness of the platform it is downloaded from. Everything Google sells has a severe audio to picture lag that has seemingly no fix to it. Save your money and buy somewhere else.

A stunning mini series that follows Easy Company through WWII from training to the end of the war in Europe. The interviews preceding each episode with the real characters themselves reminds us this based on real events. Not revealing their identities until the end was a brilliant move. Episode 9 'why we fight' is extremely moving. There are many fresh faced actors in this that are now house hold names. Overall for me, in my top 3 series.
