Netflix subscribers have days left to watch what viewers say is the 'greatest TV series of all time.'
The streaming service has plenty on offer, but its regular reshuffles sadly mean that some incredible TV series get the axe.
Removals are usually down to licence deals expiring, and while Netflix gives us plenty of notice, some still catch us off guard.

Sometimes that means the show we're invested in is yanked away mid-binge watch.
At other times, we go hunting for a series we swear was on the platform, only to discover it’s already been pulled. Both are equally as frustrating!
Fans only have two weekends left to catch - or rewatch - this top-rated US war drama with a stand-out cast. The HBO miniseries was both created and executive-produced by Hollywood heavyweights Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg.

The series takes us back to World War II and follows 'Easy Company,' a unit of the 101st Airborne Division, from their brutal training at Camp Toccoa through some of the war’s most pivotal battles.
Across ten episodes, it captures the harrowing realities of combat, the sacrifices made and the unbreakable bonds formed between soldiers.
Damian Lewis, Ron Livingston, David Schwimmer, Donnie Wahlberg, and Michael Cudlitz lead the cast in the gripping war drama.
The series in question is called Band of Brothers and is based on the 1992 non-fiction book by historian Stephen E. Ambrose.

It joined Netflix US in September 2023 and other regions later on, but after two years on the platform, it will soon be leaving for good.
The final day to watch is Monday (September 15). Made up of 10 episodes which are up to 70 minutes long each, it's definitely possible to binge-watch between now and then - so get on it!
Not only is Band of Brothers critically acclaimed, but it racked up an incredible 97 per cent Rotten Tomatoes score across more than 1,000 fan reviews, too.

"Band of Brothers offers a visceral, intense look at the horrors of war -- and the sacrifices of the millions of ordinary people who served," critics said in their consensus. And fans were in agreement, as one dubbed it the 'greatest war mini series of all time.'
"Plain and simple, this is the best work in television history," a second said, as a third echoed: "Maybe the best blend of history and entertainment ever. If not, definitely up there on the list."
Another admitted it was their third time watching the series, as somebody else said: "I've watched this series multiple times. Its attention to detail, the perfect casting, and close following of the book it was based on amazes me each time I watch it. Fantastic in every way.
Band of Brothers is streaming now on Netflix until Monday, September 15.
