The TVI Take
Emmy winner for Outstanding Miniseries (2010). The Pacific Theater companion piece to Band of Brothers, following three Marines from Guadalcanal to Iwo Jima.
High cognitive demands from the multiple storylines and moral complexity. Exceptional educational value from the accurate portrayal of Pacific combat, PTSD, and the dehumanizing nature of island warfare. Unflinching where Band of Brothers was sometimes heroic.
