Band of Brotherspremiered at just about the worst time possible, and it almost got taken out before it even got a chance to show viewers how much of a masterpiece it was. Premiering on September 9, 2001, it aired just two days before the terrorist attacks on 9/11 and HBO ended up pulling marketing for it because of how violent the show was. HBO saw an absolutely massive drop in viewership because people just weren’t in the mood for violence. But, the show later went from being hated for its violence, to loved for its patriotism and celebration of sacrifice against evil forces.
