Bump, since out of curiosity I looked & HBO had The Pacific on demand. I already knew every episode of BoB.
The watch Pacific 1st advice is right. If you compare based on depth & number of characters you connect with, no contest. The overall scope was different, too, as the series spent more time in America, love interests & family. They were clearly not trying to use the same template.
What the Pacific did very well, in pretty unflinching detail, was portray the greusome, brutal conditions soldiers faced in the island hopping campaign. It was hard to watch at times, but I give them credit for not holding much back, and not trying to copy & paste BoB.
