I think you (just like many other BoB fans) expected to see BoB in the pacific. 'The Pacific' was something totally different; different theme, different concept,....
And another aspect that might explain why some people who liked Bob, didn't like 'The pacific', is the lack of a Good vs Bad theme. In BoB, you've got the good guys fighting the 'evil Germans'. In 'The Pacific' you get the total madness war is. In 'The Pacific', most men aren't heroes, they're just men... men who piss themselves, men who have trouble adjusting after the war, men that break under pressure, even men that commit 'war crimes',... BoB was a good old war story. 'The Pacific' dug a lot deeper....
