Boring... I give it a 1 star because you have to work REALLY hard, for a series that had great source material (based on the Donald L. Miller novel) & could pick from such a wealth of exciting missions & stories of the war, and handed such a huge budget, be this Sloooooow, & uninteresting. Not to mention how repetitive it is. One battle looks exactly like all the others, Pilots and crew bouncing around with goggles and oxygen masks on with only eyes visible certainly takes away these actors ability to emote. I was absolutley shocked at how Boring (with a capital B) this show is. Horrible writing and really bad acting, almost bordering camp in places bog down the epic scale & great set pieces. Watch a episode or two and you've seen the entire series, NOTHING changes or gets any better,...as hard as that is to believe, it just continues to plod along without gaining any momentum whatsoever.To utter this show's name in the same sentence as Band of Brothers or The Pacific is just reprehensible.
Watch instead, the far superior
Memphis Belle
Lancaster Skies
The Tuskegee Airmen (or George Lucas take on the same, called Red Tails)
Twelve O'Clock High
Leather Necks
