Why has this show suddenly become so highly rated.

Underrated.

UNCOMPROMISING UNDERGROUND FILTH

This has been rated highly since its release. I don't know about this "all of a sudden" business.

I agree with the previous posters, there's nothing sudden about the rating. It is no fluke. Band of Brothers has held a rating in the mid-9s for as long as I can recall. And the thing is, the show really is that good. In fact, I also agree with the posters here who claim the rating is not high enough. It is a triumphant masterpiece of filmmaking.

I'm Canadian, never been in the military, and I've watched BoB at least 10 times. I think it's the only thing I've rated 10/10 on IMDB.

Goddamn son, this deserves to be on top! give it a goddamn try..
