What Are You Making Me Watch?S1 Band of Brothers Ep 1 CurraheeBand of Brothers might be one of TV's most beloved series, but Paul's never bothered to watch it. Before now. Hannah, on the other hand, is a huge fan. In this first episode they chat about big budget TV, whether Paul can identify a single character under those helmets, and whether Sobel's overbearing style might turn out to be good thing.
