“As an exercise in storytelling it is severely flawed.” Read on for the verdict on last night’s TV.
The Pacific, Sky Movies Premiere

“It’s not that The Pacific is no good. On the contrary, it has battle scenes to make you hide behind the sofa. But as an exercise in storytelling it is severely flawed, which, given that one of the executive producers is Steven Spielberg, on of the master storytellers of our age, is mystifying.”
