Masters of the Air went with characters that were too All American and unlikeable. Visually stunning and told the horrors of flying bombers in WW2, but should have been much better.
Memphis Belle had already shown most of those horrors though.
On the back of this I watched Band of Brothers and The Pacific again, superb shows.
Episode 10 of BofB, is one of the most powerful things I’ve seen, really gets to the heart strings and makes you cry, not just for the prisoners but for the shock and dis-belief of the soldiers having to witness that.
