The Pacific is better. Maybe I'm a woman though judging from above.

How can you compare BoB to such mediocre shows? Sopranos, sure, I can see it being in some people's top list, but BR is like upper middle class at best

maybe fiction form the standpoint of easy but there are real accounts from the Red Army with those reactions from liberating camps

Yes, US units did discover and liberate some camps, but Easy company of the 506PIR never did. BoB is their story. Spielberg changed the facts for dramatic purposes.

Watched it for the first time month ago too. Great show but putting it in top 3 is very generous. It's better than vast majority of TV shows, but it's not quite best of the best. I will give extra points for being based on a real events though.

Breaking bad also is really good, definitely top 10, probably even top 5 but not sure about top 3.

yeah

I saw it when it first came on TV and haven't since.

Whenever someone mentions BoB that's the first thing that comes to mind.
