Hate to remind you but

WWII really happened. The events this dramatization embodies actually happened. I agree with you about SPR although I thought the opening sequence on Omaha beach was done pretty well.
Maybe you don't like any dramatization. If that is so, stick to the Time Life books or the Ken Burns' documentaries. However, I have read the books these mini-series are based upon and there is a heck of a lot of factual basis for the events.
I thought Band of Brothers was very good and did a great job dramatizing actual events and depicting actual people. It wasn't Hollywood schlock at all as main characters got killed and did horrible things. It did not sensationalize the military and showed how FUBAR a lot of it was. The last section on "Points" showed all sorts of bad behavior from the military not to mention the looting and raiding the soldiers did.
So what exactly is your problem with BOB and why can't you sit still long enough to watch the Pacific? They are both actually difficult things to get into because of the multitude of characters and they don't make it easy on you. I didn't see any SPR schlock in BOB or the Pacific as of yet (1 episode).
Or is this just pre-emptive hate?
