Pacific was much better IMO. Had way more relatable scenes to being in the service.I liked The Pacific more but this one was okay. Harder to get into because SO MANY of them died.
On my first watch of The Pacific, as it aired, I was expecting a Band of Brothers experience but instead found it a bit boring and disjointed, as it felt like it hopped around too much. The Australian stuff specifically was a snore.
After letting it sit for 5+ years I went back for a re-watch and found it much more enjoyable, for whatever reason.
