Though spiritually Band of Brothers' sequel, The Pacific shows an entirely different reality. If the first HBO mini was about a victory against oppression, this one was about the trauma of war. Where BoB contrasted the war experience with familiar surroundings (European cottages), The Pacific is an alien hellhole filled with mud and rotting bodies. It follows three key Marines whose experiences were well documented, which does mean we jump around a lot more than in BoB and that you shouldn't expect kamikaze planes or the atomic bomb to show up. A worthy successor, and perhaps more experiential than it is narrative, The Pacific won't put a bounce in your step, but it will make you think. 6 years 11 months ago -
