And we're off!

I have now completed the first of the 50 challenges by watching "The Pacific", a 10 part mini-series following American marines in the Pacific. I had got this for Christmas after getting Band of Brothers last year(essentially the European version of The Pacific). I really enjoyed Band of Brothers but I had read that I would be slightly let down by The Pacific. I was. I mean, it was a good enough series and I'd recommend that you watch it but I found that characters lacked depth and even in the later episodes I'm thinking to myself "Do I know that person? Have they appeared before?". However, marks are made up for the fact that I found the last two episodes the best of the series. I would tell anyone to watch it, but if you haven't seen Band of Brothers, then I'd tell you to watch that instead.
