The HBO War Miniseries That Set a New Streaming Standard Is Still Finding Viewers 25 Years Later




There's an almost ceaseless fascination with World War II, a time when there were clear definitions of who were the good guys and who were not, when nations put aside their differences to unite against a common enemy. It's a period in history, on History, that Tom Hanks is currently revisiting the conflict in a 20-part documentary series, World War II with Tom Hanks. It's also the latest in a string of projects the venerated actor has been involved with, perhaps none as famously as Saving Private Ryan.
