After watching the first episode of The Pacific I wasn't bothered if I never saw any more, but the second episode was better. However, it has nowhere near the same impact or involvement as BoB. Far too much gratuitous violence and there isn't the same following of certain characters. From week to week my husband and I struggle to remember who is who and although I've carried on watching it, while watching Monday night's episode I was also surfing the net and didn't really care if I missed anything or not!

War is about violence.

Band of Brothers is hard to top!
