You will need your own copy of the show to watch along! 😁

This is a big change from the usual, but I'm so excited to see where it goes after watching part one!

So excited for you to watch this! Best TV production to this day for me, especially in terms of consistency and quality from all cast and crew. Add in the historical value, the ability for this show to bring history books to life (should be required in American high schools), and that this show still looks fantastic for being 23 years old. Some tough episodes which still bring me to tears every time but can’t wait to go on the journey with you!

This is a magnificent series that I've watch quite a few times. I can hear Dawn now once this really gets going "oh my god" "oh my god" ect. ect. lol

Per the internet, $100 in 1941 would be a little more than $2,000 today. The $10K life insurance payout would be about $206,000 today. Currahee roughly translated to “We Stand Alone Together” which is also the title of the unofficial 11th episode which is a full-on documentary of Easy company’s journey through WWII. The interviews with the real Easy company veterans (you’ll find out who is who in episode 10 as saying earlier would tell you who survived) are used as snippets in each of the 10-episode series and are longer and have more men included in that “11th episode”. I highly recommend watching/reacting to that after the 10 episodes. Also, I’m sure the Internet and possibly others here will tell you after certain episodes whether or not things happened as depicted. The series is largely based on a book by Stephen Ambrose who researched /interviewed what/who he could but also surviving members of Easy were directly involved in the TV production and added/advised about how to get it right. So if the soldiers were unaware of something that happened, their account of what happened wasn’t always 100% accurate by no fault of their own and the show gets it right the vast majority of the time. This was made in 1999 so the ability to Google and reach out for more info was not as readily available as it is today. Also, there were some creative liberties knowingly taken in order to make this all work as a cohesive show, sometimes condensing the time a battle took or which soldiers were involved, since having a cast of 100 main characters isn’t feasible for a TV show; but the writers, producers, cast, etc. have all spoken at length about their efforts to get it right as best they could and the result is phenomenal.

Getting to know the real soldiers was the best part. Hearing them tell the story really hit hard

Loved your reaction to one of my absolute favorite series. I believe you will love it, even the hard parts and there ARE hard parts to watch. I do want to clarify a few things military-wise: The airborne units of the us army in WWII did what is called static-line parachuting, which is where the actual parachutes are attached to a line which deploys the chute automatically. This is the standard for basic airborne drops even today and normally happens at a comparatively low altitude, generally 1200 feet AGL (above ground level). Static line operations are pretty good at getting a lot of men on the ground in a short enough time that it is relatively safe. This is in contrast to what they call Military Free Fall, which can be utilized at any reasonable altitude but is usually far higher (25,000 or more, employing oxygen) and the soldier deploys the chute at his discretion. The scene where Ross is lost and cuts the fence after he thinks Major Horton told him to was a good example of Sobel's inability to do basic things that an infantry officer SHOULD be good at. When the map guy shows him where he actually is, he says that Sobel is a full grid off. That is 1000 meters away from the correct position. The term court martial refers to a military disciplinary hearing. As you noted, Ross was just being a dickhead by punishing Winters for his non-coms playing a joke on him. All in all, about 13,000 US paratroopers participated in the d-day jump.

Superb reaction. Everything I was planning on mentioning has already been said. 👍
