Review of Bastogne

Band of Brothers: Bastogne (2001)
Season 1, Episode 6
10/10
Almost Gut Wrenching 9/10
27 May 2019
For the life of me, can't really comprehend how 600 out of 5000 voters, rated this episode a 1/10. The weighted mean still sits at 8.7 out of 10, but still there are almost 600 viewers out there giving this the WORST possible score. Anyone comprehend this ? Is the story too dramatic ? Too painful to watch ? Too realistic ? Too cinematic ? Are these 600 Europeans that hold a grudge ? Whatever it is, it's somewhat baffling.

My stepfather had this series collection on VHS. He's a retired history teacher who is extremely picky about what he reads and watches. Mostly sports, history/biography, and current events. I knew this was a special production, but I never got around to watching it until now. I served 4 years in the USMC and I feel thankful I never experienced war.

Granted this can be a tough episode to sit through, but not for reasons that support a dreadful RATING. What's the problem ? Anyone know why 12% of the voters despise this episode or movie ?
