I've now watched the whole series as our HBO access ends on Sunday.
Oh, yay! I'm glad you got to watch it before your access ended. :) Excited to see the thoughts you may have for the next few episodes, too, haha.
We're doing a rewatch of The Pacific starting in January, and while I don't have any current plans to stream it I can try and figure something out if yourself and others would be interested. (No need to commit now or anything, just to keep in mind as the new year starts.)
I wonder if Winters as leader isn't a relevant issue there.
Apologies if I've read this statement the wrong way, but The Pacific follows the USMC rather than the Airborne, so none of the characters from Band of Brothers are involved. It's basically three storylines following three different guys through the Pacific theatre, and there are things I think it does...not necessarily better than Band of Brothers, but things it expands upon that BoB doesn't get into that I appreciated from a narrative perspective.
It has its shortcomings, too, of course, and there are things that I prefer the BoB narrative for, but overall it's a great show. (And rapidly becoming my area of expertise, of the two, haha.)
