@Ludmilla: Yay that S1 of Hell on Wheels is so good! It was on my radar, but your post helped me to order it today (as a treat to self after reaching 100k words in current WIP). Band of Brothers is absolutely outstanding, and a personal fave, but I think you're wise to take a break before The Pacific - which is unrelenting in its savagery, and far more visceral than BoB. Many dislike it compared to BoB, but I thought it was excellent in a different way.
Saw Ironclad last night, with James Purefoy, who I like, and Paul Giamatti, who I also like. It's about Magna Carta, King John, knights and battles. Job done - or so I thought.
It was awful. Just dreadful. Avoid at all costs!
