MORE SPURS STORIES
BAND OF BROTHERS
Based on the bestseller by Stephen E. Ambrose and comprising an all-star cast of Michael Fassbender (X-Men First Class, Inglorious Bastards), Damian Lewis (Homeland, The Escapist) and Scott Grimes (Robin Hood, E.R), the epic 10-part miniseries BAND OF BROTHERS tells the story of Easy Company, 506th Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army.
Drawn from interviews with survivors of Easy Company, as well as soldiers’ journals and letters, BAND OF BROTHERS chronicles the experiences of these men who knew extraordinary bravery and extraordinary fear. With the eyes of the world upon them, they found their greatest source of strength in one another.
THE PACIFIC
The epic ten-part adventure tracks the intertwined real-life journeys of three U.S Marines – Robert Leckie (James Badge Dale), Eugene Sledge (Joe Mazzello) and John Basilone (Jon Seda) – across the vast canvas of the Pacific Theatre of World War II. From the very first scene, witness the reality of war with disorientating and historical accuracy, set against a breath-taking and often harrowing backdrop. The series follows these men and their fellow comrades from their first battle with the Japanese on Guadalcanal, through the rain forests of Cape Gloucester and the strongholds of Peleliu, across the bloody sands of Iwo Jima and through the horror of Okinawa, and finally to their triumphant but uneasy return home after V-J Day.
Costing an incredible $200m to create, THE PACIFIC is a cinematic blockbuster for the small screen, representing a revolution in television, and further cements HBO’s position as a pioneer of innovative and challenging programming.
TRUE DETECTIVE
The next must-see box set, True Detective, is perfect for fans of HBO’s The Sopranos and The Wire and dark thrillers The Following and Se7en. This existential drama is a truly unsettling cinematic epic in long form, starring Academy® Award winner Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) and Emmy® Award winner Woody Harrelson (The Hunger Games). Their characters, Rust Cohle and Martin Hart are partners on a sinister case that takes place in the pits of rural Louisiana, contending with religious zealots and satanic sacrificial murders.
Created and written by Nic Pizzolatto (The Killing) and with every episode shot on 35mm film by director Cary Fukunaga (Jane Eyre), who uses the Southern Louisiana landscape to achieve an eerie film noir effect, the bleak brilliance of TRUE DETECTIVE is that it asks viewers to also be the detectives. It’s time-shifting structure creates a hugely intriguing show that has won over critics and viewers around the world and makes for a gripping and addictive experience as the on-screen events are played out to a conclusion that will have you guessing right until the very end.
THE SOPRANOS
Get the family together with the ultimate mobster series and pay tribute to the passing of one of TV’s greatest actors, James Gandolfini, in what was arguably his most acclaimed role as Tony Soprano. This stunning box set is an ideal gift to please any fans of “The Greatest Show in television history” (Vanity Fair), with the boxset featuring all 86 episodes on 28 discs.
An urban gangster drama, The Sopranos’ true impact strikes closer to home – the HBO series chronicles a dysfunctional, suburban American family in bold relief. And for protagonist Tony Soprano, there’s the added complexity posed by heading twin families – his collegial mob clan and his own, nouveau riche brood.
