Just finished watching this. It's really great at times, slow at others. Opposed to some other comments I don't think this is eye to eye with BoB. Not saying it's bad but I just never felt connected with the characters the way I did with BoB. Like it says in the shows description they follow three marines throughout seperate events. For me that was the problem. You are with one of them in battle and next scene you're with another one back home. Another thing I thought was missing is that I never got the feel for the scope of the battle. Yes, it's a mini-series not Hollywood and there is not as much budget but especially in the first half of the show it felt rather small. Nevertheless I would recommend this, it is well worth the time watching it.

After all the Kyoto treaty violations of US soldiers in Irak and Afghanistan, torturing their enemies, raping their women, etc., they want us to believe that these soldiers morals were no shy from a comic superhero?? give me a break, this is bullshit fantasy!

Overall, the series is slightly worse than Band of Brothers, however Okinawa (Episode 9) is better than any episode in BoB by quite a bit.

Unofficial Trilogy Band of Brothers (2001) https://trakt.tv/shows/band-of-brothers The Pacific (2010) https://trakt.tv/shows/the-pacific Masters of the Air (2024) https://trakt.tv/shows/masters-of-the-air

It tried to be Band of Brothers in the Pacific but failed miserably at that. You really couldn't find that love of each character. That being said I think this is still a great WWII miniseries that shows the war in an entirely different light than BoB.
