Just in case you don't know, HBO (US) will be airing a similar mini-series as Band of Brothers but set in the Pacific. Same executive producers I believe. Brothers, I thought, was very well done. Actually just finished watching them on Blu-ray with my son. Pacific should be very interesting. I believe the series will also follow the guys when the return back home. Not sure when the series will be available internationally. I will probably grab it on blu-ray when it is released.

Re: The Pacific
Sounds good!
I immediately bought the Brothers complete set as soon as it was available, and still watch it periodically to re-align my perspectives. I'll keep watch for the Pacific version!
Thanks for the heads-up!

Re: The Pacific
The Pacific first showing was very realistic, but i was disappointed that it went so fast into combat without detailing the characters as in Band of Brothers,well see how it goes .

Re: The Pacific
Haven't seen it yet up here in Canada. My only comment is that I believe they intend to "detail" the characters more so when the men return home.ACE444 wrote:The Pacific first showing was very realistic, but i was disappointed that it went so fast into combat without detailing the characters as in Band of Brothers,well see how it goes .
So, generally speaking, is it comparable in quality to Band of Brothers mate?

Re: The Pacific
I suspect HBO Canada will have the series, albeit maybe not until it completely airs on its parent station. I intend to purchase it on Blu-ray.
