I enjoyed the Pacific more than band of brothers but it's been years since I seen BOB so might be unfair to compare them.

For anyone that liked the BOB interviews then the Vietnam War by Ken Burns on Netflix is an absolute must. I really enjoy most of Burns work. Really balanced stuff, allows room in history for all sides.
The Pacific was very good but didn't seem to get the same sort of traction with the viewing public.

The Vietnam One is great! Daughters doing Vietnam for her GCSE history this is a must watch for her

Max Hastings book on Vietnam is a good companion for the series, might be a bit heavy for a 16 year old but I read it a few months ago and it's tremendous

I'll look that up, cheers

Meant to post about it this morning, anyone who's not seen it do whatever you need to be in front of the TV tonight. It's absolutely bonkers. The pressure he lived under must have been intolerable...

A different genre but I have really enjoyed watching" Lemony Snicket's a series of unfortunate events" on Netflix with my son the last few days , Neil Patrick Harris is brilliant as Count Olaf in it

We enjoyed that as well as a family, I haven't seen much else like it, kid/young teen friendly but also smart.

Just finished The Hunters on Amazon. I absolutely loved the first few episodes but I feel it maybe began to lose the run of itself. Wouldn't be too fussed on the ending of the series.

I did enjoy the quirkiness of the show even though it was dealing with some horrific matters.

Watching "Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness" on Netflix.

Its awesome!
