Band of Brothers and its companion titles might be considered some of the best war shows ever made, but there are several series set during wars that shouldn't be overlooked. Thanks to the popularity of the Band of Brothers franchise and earlier projects such as Hogan's Heroes , there's a notion that most war shows are set during WW2 , but that's not the case.

One of the most successful shows in history (not just the war genre), M*A*S*H , was notably set during the Korean War, helping prove why WW2 isn't the only option for TV storytelling. That said, there are still a few WW2-based series that we highly recommend for anyone looking for war shows that may have flown under the radar when they initially released.
