Masters of The Air is fantastic but it's definitely missing something not incorporating vets stories. Have we passed the rubicon where there aren't any left to tell them? Maybe the actors portraying the vets could read things written by them in character or something?
It's fantastic but it feels like it's missing the magic, the authenticity, Band of Brothers and The Pacific have.
On the season 2 premiere episode of 8111 I talk with Visual Effects Supervisor Stephen Rosenbaum. His career is nothing short of incredible. HIs credits include; The Abyss, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Forest Gump, Contact, I Robot, Avatar, and the amazing AppleTV+ series Masters of the Air.

🇬🇧 Next on the list to watch is the #MastersOfTheAir series and I can already feel the #BandOfBrothers vibe after the first 10 minutes 😉 Let's hope they don't ruin it later!
🇵🇱 Następny na liście do obejrzenia jest serial #MastersOfTheAir i już po pierwszych 10 minutach czuję klimat #BandOfBrothers 😉 Oby tego nie zepsuli później!
Viewership across the service rose 65% worldwide when compared to the previous 7-day period, and maintained double-digit growth across more than 100 territories.
"Masters of the Air," Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' companion piece to "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific," arrived on Apple TV Plus today. MovieMaker spoke to co-creator John Orloff about the vision for the show, why he strove to avoid Hollywood theatrics, and the important stories it tells about the Tuskegee airmen.
For me, it’s a “prestige” formula that feels dated: stoic one-dimensional men acting behind masks, pretty barmaids, token people of color, faceless enemies, good VFX and production design, forgettable opening theme.
I’ll watch it for my $8/mo but I’m not excited about it.
While waiting to start #CriminalRecord, I’ve decided to check out #MastersOfTheAir - yeah the first two episodes didn’t do it for me, it feels like a series I’ll watch in between other series as a time filler. Things could get more interesting though with episode 3 onwards, who knows! #AppleTVPlus
Masters of the Air: Hanks and Spielberg’s spectacular war story is the first must-watch show of 2024
This mesmerising white-knuckle ride stars Austin Butler, Callum Turner, Ncuti Gatwa and more as pilots taking to the skies – and trying to make it out alive
Boyle, who also narrates, is from Belfast (not many roles are written for people from there, he says, so Northern Irish actors learn accents pretty quickly).
The war drama limited series — from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman — follows the airmen of the 100th Bomb Group in World War II who brought the war to Hitler's doorstep.
