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.
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.

Yeah I remember when Tom Hanks was interviewed about The Pacific he mentioned how it was a conscious choice to make sure there wasn't a "glory of war" feel to it. They wanted to document how horrible and unglorified it really was.
