quote:Yep. Feel the same way. I only got through about 2 eps of Pacific before I quit it.
I can watch BoB over and over. The Pacific on the other hand is not rewatchable. It doesnt pull you in to feel for the characters like BoB did.

Used to feel the same way. BoB has better character development that really draws you in.
I watched a Pacific marathon on HBO on Veteran's Day, over 10 straight hours. By the end of the day the show really got to me. I had trouble sleeping a bit that night. 10 hours straight of brutal violence. When I originally watched it was a week to week show, but when you binge watch it, wow, you really get a sensory overload of the violence and brutality of the war in the Pacific. Much greater appreciation now.

The Pacific was certainly more focused on the psychological torment aspect of the individual characters throughout the war, which was very different than the "bond" and "brotherhood" narrative in BoB. This made it seem slower as it surrounded the 3 main characters, and not a whole unit. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed The Pacific because it wasn't just BoB in the Pacific theatre.
My only complaint with BoB is that I had to rewatch the series in order to match the names and faces of all the guys in Easy Company. Sometimes I just got confused about who was talking about who.
