HBO’s Latest Series, ‘The Pacific’, has proven to be a huge success among critics and the general public. It has delivered all the action, drama, and all out bloodshed that was promised by the producers when the show was first announced. The Pacific started off slow with a pretty small fan base but has exploded quite suddenly as word of mouth has gotten around.

The Pacific follows 3 American Marines as they fight in World War II against the Japanese. Each of these three marines have written a book about their experience in world war and the producers of The Pacific have followed the books as much as possible to give the viewers the most realistic experience possible.

So far only two episodes from the ten part miniseries have been shown on television and you will be able to watch the pacific episode 3 online as soon as it has been shown on HBO.

The following was said by Spielberg in a recent interview:

“We did give The Pacific with a different look. There was a very strong, desaturated quality to Band of Brothers. In The Pacific, it was blue skies. They weren’t fighting in overcast weather. Sometimes monsoons would come in and it was terribly rainy and muddy and you couldn’t see the hand in front of your face, but it was a blue-sky war. It was a hot, dry, humid blue-sky war. So, there are more vivid colors in The Pacific than we ever had in Band of Brothers because that was the way it was, when you read the books and talk to the survivors of those campaigns”.

He was then asked how long it took to create the pacific and he responded with:

“I would say years. Longer than I actually remember. It was inevitable that we would do The Pacific with HBO because there was such an overwhelming response, not only from the general public that got very involved in Band of Brothers, but we got so much positive mail. We got so many letters of veterans from the Pacific Theater of Operations, asking us if we could acquit their stories the way we acquitted the stories of the European Theater of Operations.”

The new show from HBO will only get a larger fan base and will grow with every new episode of the pacific.
