I was expecting something better than I got, that's for sure. Full quote, BTW:

I have to say, I think Hanks and Spielberg missed a great opportunity to educate us on the war in the Pacific while entertaining us. In the end, all I really got out of this war was it was brutal, unrelenting, violent and miserable. Except I knew all that going in. Add to that the incoherent timeline, hollow characters and lack of chemistry and you have some really bad television.
I know some of you guys liked this, but I think this series will be forgotten fairly quickly whereas BoB will live on as a classic for at least our whole lives.
