It'll come down to casting, IMO.
There were definitely diminishing returns on The Pacific even though it's every bit as fascinating a story. I was just never as vested in the characters as I was in Winters, Nix, Malark, Shifty, Bull, Buck, Lipton, Guarnere, Spiers, etc...
That was the casting; we cared about those guys because the actors made us care about them.
