The perfect time to stream the best war series on Netflix is right now. While war series and films generally see a surge in popularity around relevant holidays, the last week of August is actually the best possible time to dive into this series for one crucial reason.
This series has stood the test of time – nearly 25 years to be exact – as the unanimous choice for the greatest war series ever made. At just ten episodes, it’s very possible to binge-watch the series in just a few sittings, although viewers may reasonably need a breather between some episodes with the most remarkable and tragic scenes.
Band Of Brothers Is Leaving Netflix Soon, So It’s The Perfect Time To Dive In
Band of Brothers, the HBO WWII masterpiece that earned a Certified Fresh 94% Rotten Tomatoes score and audience score of 97%, will be leaving Netflix in a matter of weeks. If you haven’t gotten the chance to see the phenomenal series, co-created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks of Saving Private Ryan acclaim, now’s the time to do so.
Both Band of Brothers and its sister series, The Pacific, will be leaving Netflix on September 15, 2025. Starting Band of Brothers tonight should give you enough time to get through the series properly while also reserving the opportunity to binge-watch The Pacific as well before they’re both off Netflix for an indefinite period of time.
At Just 10 Episodes, Band Of Brothers Makes A Quick Binge
Band of Brothers consists of 10 episodes, with runtimes that range from 49 minutes to 70 minutes apiece, making it one of the best Netflix series to binge-watch this week. If you are an HBO Max subscriber, however, then you’re still in luck, because the celebrated series will still be available to stream on that platform throughout the entire month of September and beyond.
That said, once you start watching Band of Brothers and any platform, chances are you’re going to have a hard time turning it off, especially if it’s your first time watching it. For context, Band of Brothers won six Emmys in 2002, including Outstanding Miniseries. It’s not only a great war series, but also unquestionably one of the best TV shows ever made.
Band Of Brothers Is The Best War Show On The Streamer – And In General
There are quite a few reasons why Band of Brothers is considered the best war series ever made from just about every aspect of filmmaking. The camerawork and direction are poignant and immersive, the characters are fantastically developed and have great yet often tragic arcs, and the various narratives bring some of the worst moments in WWII history to life in both dehumanizing and deeply moving ways.
The passion and attention to detail that went into Band of Brothers transcends it beyond an exceptional form of entertainment. It stands as an appropriate landmark in TV history from a technical and creative standpoint, but also arguably one of the most important forms of WWII-inspired artwork ever made. See what the hype is all about, or revisit the celebrated series once again, before time runs out on Netflix.
