Pacific is good but not nearly as good as the above
Luke Reed
With the Old Breed is recommended reading/listening after you watch it, gives a way better look at Sledge's military career.
Ethan Perry
The sledge story arc was the only good part of this show, the rest is trash
Ian Johnson
>it's a leckie wets his bed episode
Ryan Murphy
I couldn't get past the episode where they're falling in love in Australia. Is it worth it to continue past that? Or is it just soap opera trash the whole way through?
William Watson
>Tfw everyone hates the Australia episode
>tfw its the most comfy and probably my favorite episode of the whole series
Michael Murphy
It's like the other user says, best parts of the show was the second half when Sledge gets there. The Leckie and Basilone episodes weren't as good save for Basilone's heroics on Guadalcanal
I thought Basilone training the new guys was pretty comfy too
Dominic Carter

What's not to love about the Aussie episode? It's an hour dedicated to strong American men cucking the shit out of Australian men busy dying in North Africa.

Oliver Hall
making him 100 feet tall at the end was a bold decision but ultimately it paid off, i was near tears when i realized he really was the bigger man

Top lel. Is this what passes for TV nowadays?

I'd like a series about Italians struggling under the command of criminally inept officers. Maybe have them reassigned to a German Commander and they get to shine or something.
>"The Italian command is, for the most part, not equal to the task of carrying on war in the desert, where the requirement was lightning decision followed by immediate action. The training of the Italian infantryman fell far short of the standard required by modern warfare. … Particularly harmful was the all pervading differentiation between officer and man. While the men had to make shift without field-kitchens, the officers, or many of them, refused adamantly to forgo their several course meals. Many officers, again, considered it unnecessary to put in an appearance during battle and thus set the men an example. All in all, therefore, it was small wonder that the Italian soldier, who incidentally was extraordinarily modest in his needs, developed a feeling of inferiority which accounted for his occasional failure and moments of crisis. There was no foreseeable hope of a change for the better in any of these matters, although many of the bigger men among the Italian officers were making sincere efforts in that direction." - Rommel

What is it with bitches and the need to exaggerate things.

Aussie women are terrible people. I lived in Australia and they're by far the worst thing about living there besides their television.

Pacific is alright but if suffers from lame acting and characters that dont really stand out.
BoB and Generation Kill are awesome though, guess it's a character thing. Before you go all patriots on this post, know that The Pacific has good looking action at least.
