Have seen bits and pieces of each, and looking to start one tonight.

BoB
The Pacific was excellent but BoB is the greatest thing ever recorded

Band of Brothers and it's not even close.

They are both great, but Band of Brothers may be the best 10 or so hours of television ever. So if you can only watch one, watch Band of Brothers. If you can watch both, watch the Pacific first so you aren't comparing it to Band of Brothers.

that's a fair point actually

BoB seems to be taking the cake though, and with tGOAT references, I might have to give it a whirl

BoB easily. Pacific is still good but the story and character development in BoB was head and shoulders better.

I couldn't get past Winters being the bad guy in homeland. I quit watching homeland because of it.

BoB is the best series ever made.

Seriously, it's that good.

Pacific was okay, but I didn't have any connection with or care about any of the characters like I did in BoB.

ETA I would put Generation War over Pacific

Watch them both but watch The Pacific first so you can be even more mesmerized by BoB.

Generation Kill is better and more realistic than both. But BoB is not far behind. Both are fantastic.

In this order watch them, Generation Kill, the pacific, Bob. All three are incredible but BoB is stunning.
