2 episodes into Masters of the Air and it's pretty good. Thankfully no plot armor, although I assume at least the narrator makes it home.

Style is reminiscent of Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Not sure it's based on a true story, but probably is.

I am enjoying it so far.

I think is trying to be as accurate as possible, it is based on a well reviewed no-fiction book Masters of the Air: America‘s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany

I'm watching it too.
. A guy I knew when I was in the service told us this story about his dad who was a tail gunner on a B-17 . Toward the end of the war the Luftwaffa was all but destroyed so some bean counter up the line decided that the gunners were wasting uncle sams money by test firing their guns. As they were approaching German airspace this guys dad forgets about this new rule and starts firing his guns as usual and the pilot starts yelling at him " save your brass save your brass" over the intercom. This guy thinks the pilot is yelling "save your azz" bails out and spends the last few months of the war in a nazi pow camp

I really enjoy it. Oldman is just so great.


I know I’m late to the party:

About half way through Fargo Season 5…. Loving it so far.

Also watching Feud: Capote vs the Swans. It is ok, my wife likes more than I do, but the costumes and set design are enough to keep me moderately interested.

It reminded me of a classmate of mine, whose dad was a gunner on a WWII bomber and got hit by shrapnel in his leg. He brought to school his dad's Purple Heart and the chunk of shrapnel they removed from his thigh. I think about that heavy chunk of metal every scene the Germans fire at them.

Love that show. Oldman is so good. I read that IRL he is long-time friends with Mick Jagger and that is the reason why Jagger sings the theme song.

I can't say it's bad, because I don't think it has any intention of being GOOD, but Gilded Age is such a silly little (with a very big budget lol) show.
Which, is somewhat disappointing, since there's a ton of damn good actors in the cast

I was shocked when I started watching that it's an original Jagger song... This is good background on how/why that happened.

Really liked this. Thewlis is fantastic.

Do yourselves a favor and don’t watch the Tourist on Netflix. 6 ep season that starts out decent, becomes more implausible in the middle and then lays a huge turd of a final episode.

Mr & Mrs Smith with Donald Gambino follows a similar arc.

How is it? I’m a (quiet) fan of Hiroyuki Sanada and am kind if interested in the series. Loved his role in John Wick 4.

Do you remember the Entourage episode where the movie star almost threw away his shot and the agent got so mad he cussed everyone out? So deep.

I remember everything worked out perfectly in the end.
