re: The Pacific or Band of Brothers?

quote:

The setting is something that made the Pacific less...well, romantic, for lack of a better word. Unlike the European theatre of operations, the Pacific theatre was just ugly. Those men fought and died under brutal conditions against a very different foe on little islands that most people had never heard of. The show does a good job of telling that story, but it is story that is tougher to watch.

That is mostly what I took away from it. Hellish fighting in brutal conditions in sparsely inhabited and very foreign looking environments made the Pacific theater a more difficult story to tell.
