Masters of the Air: Part Two (2024)
I've adjusted my expectations.
I watched Pacific. I've read the reviews on Maters of the Air. Many of which were negative. So, when I started watching this series, I was kind of expecting the worse. Yes, the sound isn't very good. Yes, the portrayal of people of that time is kind of cheesey. But the plot was a caricature of what they went through. (more or less) But then I realized that they couldn't hope to portray people that they've never met, but actually existed. Band of Brothers was made while THE Band of Brothers could be interviewed. My grandfather was in WWII with Colonel Merril. My father-in-law was also in WWII. My grandfather was extremely more descriptive than any history book, and my father-in-law would speak of it. So, once I realized that Maters, or any other series of this type, will never be able to match Band of Brothers, I gave this series a lot of leeway and just enjoyed it.
Masters of the Air: Part One (2024)
Don't be so critical of the show.
Band of Brothers is the gold standard. Pacific was good, but something was lacking. Masters is ok, but still lacking. It suddenly hit me. Band of Brothers had THE actual soldiers that were in the stories. Their true-life experiences and emotions made it the series that it was. Pacific and Masters didn't have that opportunity. Our Greatest Generation is all but gone. I believe that is the missing ingredient. So, take into consideration that the actors in Masters have ZERO ideas how to be the men they portray. More than a few negative reviews mention how it seems that these actors are just copying those from the movies of the time. They have to since there are so few of that time to guide them.
