I think the scenes from Peleliu and Okinawa were the best in the series.
yes, I think those are the best episodes too. the Alligator Creek battle in episode one is gripping. Dispatches from the Bunker has some great Alligator Creek scenarios that are fun to play

BoB is a 10/10 so it's a tough comparison.

One aspect of TP I thought was very well done was the return of the veterans to civilian life (and to some degree the return of Basilone to a hero's welcome after guadalcanal). The series depicts alienation, the strangeness of normal life, and the undiagnosed PTSD quite well.

Kind of like "The Best Years of Our Lives" - just on TCM a few weeks ago...
