I watched Pacific. I've read the reviews on Maters of the Air. Many of which were negative. So, when I started watching this series, I was kind of expecting the worse. Yes, the sound isn't very good. Yes, the portrayal of people of that time is kind of cheesey. But the plot was a caricature of what they went through. (more or less) But then I realized that they couldn't hope to portray people that they've never met, but actually existed. Band of Brothers was made while THE Band of Brothers could be interviewed. My grandfather was in WWII with Colonel Merril. My father-in-law was also in WWII. My grandfather was extremely more descriptive than any history book, and my father-in-law would speak of it. So, once I realized that Maters, or any other series of this type, will never be able to match Band of Brothers, I gave this series a lot of leeway and just enjoyed it.
