I watched this a few years ago and loved it. I cant believe its over 20 years old. The Mrs and myself just started rewatching it and its just as good the 2nd time round. One of the best TV shows I have watched
Band of Brothers Rewatch

The Pacific never really hit the same as BoB for me.
Still enjoyed it but I just felt like it didn't have the same impact for me.

Yeah, you're not wrong. It's decent and I enjoyed the story but BoB I feel I can watch a fair few more times before I feel exhausted with it. I've only watched The Pacific twice but that was only because my partner never saw it. Didn't really need to watch it again.
Absolutely watch BoB. I have BoB, The Wire and Sopranos as joint #1 and the distance to #2 is quite some margin.
The Pacific is worth a watch if you're in the mood for 'more' but it's an obvious step back from BoB. It's good, it's just no BoB and after watching both you'd understand.
Do yourself a favour and watch it. I'm not even into war stuff really (wimpy little pacifist) but it's such a good viewing experience and makes you think. Honestly, the penultimate episode is so harrowing yet so poignant (is that the word? i dunno). First time I watched it I just remember not being able to look away from the screen yet wanting to look away.
I may have to watch it again even though I only watched it again last year

I was stuck in a hotel for 4 days a few months back (some political conflict going on in the city i was in so was told to not leave the room haha) and I powered through that and 'The Pacific' back-to-back, I'd watched them previously, both still excellent series...... If you've not seen 'Generation Kill' then I'd highly recommend that as well.

Me neither. Can recommend Das Boot series if fans of the WW2 setting.

Is it on any streaming/catch up?
I know I'm probably going to get banned for this, but I only ever watched a couple of minutes of an episode or two the first time.......

Das Boot is brilliant. Have to watch it in the original German though, with subtitles if you need them.
Starting the first eposode now.

I used to watch it traditionally every Christmas but that changed for some reason. So many memorable moments and characters - Ronald Speirs (Foy run!) was incredible.
