...Band of Brothers is your typical exciting action flick.
The Pacific is more psychological / philosophical.

BoB is to Saving Pvt. Ryan as The Pacific is to The Thin Red Line.

Someone said jungle warfare was more primal than urban combat as towns and cities were subconscious reminders of civilized behavior. Of course, that didn't stop Nazi atrocities.

BTW, I'm watching The Pac as I type.

The level of personal engagement deepened in the later episodes.
+1. Sledge in episode 9 is worth the price of admission. Full stop.

I was disappointed also.  Can't put my finger on it....the nature of the war?   The acting?  I did not see all  the episode.....so maybe I will take another crack at it some time.
 
I can still pick up any BoB episode and enjoy it. 
 
It is not even a criticism of the series  Maybe it acurately portrayed the war. 
 
But for anyone on this forum....people who take an interest in, say, depth charges and air engine production....to find it boring, and I did, is......peculiar.
