Trash. Retread of a retread of a retread of a retread. At this point, we are long past tires and deep into grinding brake discs across the tarmac.
After looking at the casting choices, I didn't have to look up showrunner bios to know they are all absolutely flaming homos. Sure, they tossed in two pretty women to try to throw us off the trail, but that ruse doesn't work these days.
I had to laugh when one guy complimented another on his cologne in front of everyone. Yeah...in WWII anywhere that would have gotten you a term in prison if you were lucky.
A more fitting name for this show would be Twinks at Twilight.

holy fuck, I was tempted to write a satirical review of all the woke elements to take the piss out of morons like you who see woke everywhere even when it doesn't exist. But then I thought "nah, some moron will do it for me anyway"
Just an FYI to anyone else:
- I've finished the two episodes and I'm yet to see a single non white person
- The show is ok so far but each episode has followed the same structure (ground - mission briefing - mission)
- Atmos sound track is decent but not overwhelming. I liked how my rear wide speakers were used for the engines of the B-17, it really felt like each engine was either side of me.
- Yes, Austin Butler's hairstyle seems way too perfect for WW2

BoB started off pretty fucking slow too. The boot camp episodes are definitely the worst IMO, especially thanks to David Schwimmer. We'll see how this develops.

Was going to say the same thing. BoB was a bit of a slow build. First two eps were good enough to keep me watching for now. I like the narration giving info on some of the behind the scenes stuff you don't normally hear about- the bomb sight thing, the ground crews etc. But I'm a sucker for historical details (which is why I like Dan Carlin's Hardcore History stuff so much).

I mean, that was basically the life of an airman? Sit on the base/barracks fucking around until a mission, fly said mission, repeat.
I'm really enjoying this. Probably more than I did The Pacific(although, I appreciate the historical context of that series and depicting how brutal that theatre of war was).
The one thing about this show that annoys the shit out of me is all the goddamn CGI and green screen. I get that you have to do a lot of that for the stuff "in the air", but we can't film on location in Africa? Or somewhere that looks visually similar to Algeria? We have to constantly depict totally unrealistic skylines with horribly done green screen effects?

Rewatch it again.
That episode is actually great in how it builds all the bros and nothing is better than when Winters says
“Salute the rank not the man” to Schwimmer towards the end of the series.
he played an absolute asshole who was a piece of shit irl too
he nailed it

They are "good" episodes, I'm not saying they necessarily aren't - I was comparing them to the rest of the series. There is no doubt that those first few episodes are a bit "slow" compared to the rest of them, except for maybe the end, when the war is at its relative "end".
