I, like many here, have managed to see the first four episodes. I'd have to agree with the general feeling, that it's not quite as good as BoB. I also have the box set of BoB and my family complains whenever I watch them as I put the sound up too loud apparently.
There are some challenging concepts in The Pacific, the fourth episode in particular has highlighted some of these, I can't say too much more without spoilers.
Unfortunately there are historical inaccuracies which have pervaded through this series from BoB which make the action scenes a bit "Hollywood".
Overall, must see TV, I am an unabashed fan of HBO productions, this one is still very good.
Cheers
Stuart
