CNN's Paul Clinton said that the miniseries "is a remarkable testament to that generation of citizen soldiers, who responded when called upon to save the world for democracy and then quietly returned to build the nation that we now all enjoy, and all too often take for granted". [48] Caryn James of The New York Times called it "an extraordinary 10-part series that masters its greatest challenge: it balances the ideal of heroism with the violence and terror of battle, reflecting what is both civilized and savage about war." James also remarked on the generation gap between most viewers and characters, suggesting this was a significant hurdle. [49] Robert Bianco of USA Today wrote that the series was "significantly flawed and yet absolutely extraordinary—just like the men it portrays," rating the series four out of four stars. He noted however that it was hard to identify with individual characters during crowded battle scenes. [50] Bennett, Roger (November 11, 2021). "Band of Brothers Podcast". Apple Podcasts.

Winters, Nixon, Heyliger and Sink meet Lt. Col. David Dobie of the British Parachute Regiment and 1st Airborne Division, who enlists Easy's help in Operation Pegasus to rescue 140 of his comrades. The operation succeeds, and the rescued British Paras celebrate with Easy and toast them, including with Easy's own "Currahee!" Heyliger is injured, and command of the company passes to Norman Dike before they are rushed to Bastogne when the Germans break out in the Battle of the Bulge. Philip French of The Guardian commented that he had "seen nothing in the cinema this past year that impressed me as much as BBC2's 10-part Band of Brothers, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and Ken Loach's The Navigators on Channel 4", and that it was "one of the best films ever made about men in war and superior in most ways to Saving Private Ryan." [51] Matt Seaton, also in The Guardian, wrote that the film's production was "on such a scale that in an ad hoc, inadvertent way it gives one a powerful sense of what really was accomplished during the D-Day invasion - the extraordinary logistical effort of moving men and matériel in vast quantities."

Band Of Brothers is relentless in its portrayal of the horrors and futility of war, as characters you’ve grown to warm to are suddenly cut down, with no warning whatsoever. This, clearly, doubles the challenge to the scriptwriters, who have to continue to round out the faces we see with three dimensional characters, but their work is quite brilliant here. Relationships are formed and torn apart, against a storyline recalling some key moments from the war. a b c d e f g Hohenadel, Kristin (December 17, 2000).

However, Band of Brothers' book reveals that Cobb actually did end up putting the wounded German soldier out of his misery. Staff Sergeant Robert Marsh and Private David Webster tried to end the dying man's life by throwing grenades at him, but couldn't get them close enough. What Band of Brothers' series leaves out is that " Cobb decided he could take it no more. He grabbed a grenade, went to the river bank, heaved it over, and finally killed the German." a b Huff, Richard (September 9, 2001). "Actors & Vets Bond In 'Band Of Brothers' ". New York Daily News.
