I wanted to give everyone a heads-up regarding a miniseries that is beginning on HBO this Sunday, March 14th, titled The Pacific. Created by those who previously did the truly-outstanding Band of Brothers, this series charts WWII in the Pacific campaign.
Set in the European theater of WWII, BoB was gritty, real, well-acted, and a triumph. One-hundred-million dollars was spent to make it so. This time, $250 million are on the line to ensure that The Pacific measures up, a staggering sum for a TV production. That production has much to do with Tom Hanks, who was recently interviewed in Time Magazine regarding his history-based works and his love for this genre.
If you have HBO, my suggestion is make the series a priority. If you lack access to HBO, I have no doubt that the series will appear on DVD in the following months. Get your Netflix queue fired up!
