Band of Brothers is a story of the special comradery that exists between soldiers, that in the most sheltered sense, every day people can still in someway relate to.
The Pacific is a concept that war is indeed hell and survival in such circumstances is a theme that only a very few can relate to.
The most shinning difference between the two is character development. Very quickly in Band of Brothers did I find myself attached to the lives of the characters, especially knowing they were based off of real people. The Pacific was pure chaos, hardly any character survives past a single episode, the ones that do portray a sense of despair so great it makes it difficult to want to watch the next episode.
I enjoyed both and highly recommend picking up the Blue-Ray format found on Amazon, a perfect gift on this Remembrance Day.
