If you enjoy history, warfare, action and WW2 this is an absolute must watch. Came from the same people who produced Band of Brothers and also focuses on similar stories, combat and historical accuracy. Having read the books of combat veterans Eugene Sledge and Robert Leckie, the events portrayed in the series are so well done I was amazed. For sure the best depiction of the Pacific Theatre to ever exist, even though not even it is comparable to what the Marines saw first hand. The story is a bit more personal this time and does require time getting used to, watching it for the second time was much more enjoyable for me than the first.

A brilliant mini series, an absolute must watch. Up there with some of the best WW2 cinematography that has ever been produced.

A must watch for fans of history and World War 2. An overview of a lesser known theatre of war, done without the glorification of war itself. You can really see why it is Finland's most expensive movie, the combat scenes are amazing, the landscapes, uniforms and weapons authentic. Very different from Hollywood-styled movies and really makes you think about the war as a whole, not only combat and fighting, but the way it affects individuals and the community, Again a must watch!
