We have finally reached our first HBO series! Mike and Inika begin a 10 episode 5 week journey and join the men of Easy Company of the 101st Airbourne. Band of Brothers! In this first episode the men begin their training for war. The men of Easy Company don't have it easy, it has nothing to do with the training. It has to do with the power hungry CO they have, First Lieutenant Herbert Sobel. A man with the ability to be a strong officer, but unfortunately his leadership skills and ability to read a map and battlefield tactics are something that the men of Easy Company are worried about. They don't want to follow an officer who will get men killed because of his inability to have battlefield tactics. We also see how the other officers are butting heads with Sobel, Lieutenant Richard "Dick" Winters. Winters became one of the top men in this series and the war itself. As the men face issues with their officers and other issues, they also prepare their minds for the war they are about to fight in. Many men know they will not come back home alive.
