I have them to watch, never ever got around to it before, but going to when i get some down time.
Basically what the other guys have said. Band of Brothers is outstanding, and the Pacific doesn't quite hit the same level unfortunately. I still really enjoyed it though, partly because there isn't a huge amount of modern on screen media about that side of the war, or at least not compared to the Normandy landings anyway!
Both are heavily based on memoirs and accurate historical accounts. Band of Brothers works a bit better as it focuses on just one company, while the Pacific uses 2 or 3 little tangents to tell it's story.
