Masters of the Air. It’s not a bad series but it pales in comparison to Band of Brothers and even The Pacific (which I felt was good but still a significant step down from BoB). The problem here is I never really felt attached to the characters. They are almost cartoonish American soldiers who are macho, brave, patriotic, and talk about baseball. We see the horrors of war and the huge losses experienced by these airmen, but it fails to connect the way it should due to these two dimensional characters. The air battles also lack the tension they should have due to inferior special effects. Again, not bad effects but it just never feels tactile and real. It’s not a bad series but it’s a big disappointment after the two prior entries.
