Yes I agree.  Its really a real life documentary but produced as a Saving
Private Ryan style realistic dramatization of the events and some
documentary stuff built-in as extras at the end of each episode or section.

Sadly for me, I loaned my boxed set of Band of Brothers to a former
co-worker and I haven't seen it since.  I really need to get another copy.
I watched the enire set with my wife over a weekend when I first got them.
