I did a BoB to Pacific and right into MoA watch through, which makes it hard to not compare Archived Message

I did enjoy the Pacific more on this watch through, and I'm trying my hardest to not compare them all because they are different shows. However, one thing that seems glaring, and why I do think BoB is head and shoulders above it's counterparts is that The Pacific and MoA (thus far) lack any sort of narrative. BoB was great because it had a beginning point and and end point and it followed the group along that path and what's more, whether it was narration or just dialog, it let the viewer in on what was happening, why it was important, and what it meant. The Pacific was great from an acting standpoint and the visuals were obviously great, but I never felt pulled into any sort of consistent plot. So far, MoA feels quite the same way.
