60 of 274 · most liked firstSince Apple TV 🖥 finally came to Android, we've watched Napoleon, a hard movie to get through. Masters of the Air, a great series. And tonight, it's Greyhound, a Tom Hanks movie. Moo Moo's excited! #TimAndMooMoosMovieNight 🎬
positive · AI labelView post →Moo Moo and I are binge watching Masters of the Air tonight. 🎬 Really good series. We're already on the 5th episode. If Moo Moo had thumbs, he'd give it two up! 👍👍 #TimAndMooMoosMovieReviews

positive · AI labelView post →One sock finished, onto the second one! We finished watching ‘Masters of the Air” tonight as I was knitting. For someone who doesn’t normally like war movies, I thoroughly enjoyed this series. 🧶
positive · AI labelView post →Finished an absolute dogshit birthday weekend with the series finale of Masters of the Air. Puts Life into perspective, for sure (but it was still pretty much the worst birthday ever and I've had more than enough of them to know a bad one when it hits) and managed an uplifting end to a tough show.
neutral · AI labelView post →People are raving about Masters of the Air. But what about the show's glamorising approach to war? Me on how this show seems lifted from another era, presenting war as a great big adventure
negative · AI labelView post →Watching a bit of 'The Bloody Hundredth', a documentary about the 100th Bomb Group accompanying the Masters of the Air TV series. And I hate this map.
neutral · AI labelView post →Are there any good shows to watch on Apple TV?. I'm subscribed to Apple One (JP) which has Apple TV bundled and happy with it being -$13 cheaper since: - Apple One is ¥1,350 **($8.55)** per month in Japan - Apple One is $21.95 per month in the USA I managed to find some shows I'd liked (Masters of the Air for example) but do you know anymore? Regardless, they offer the same thing inrespective of region: iCloud (50GB), Apple TV, Arcade & Music for an individual plan. Also, why…
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching “Masters of the Air” and I wonder why every British officer in every US drama series is such a complete arsehole.
negative · AI labelView post →All time best Masters of the Air preview shot. (The series is fantastic so far by the way go see!)
positive · AI labelView post →Tom Hanks co newest WW2 series, "Masters of the Air" is finally going to air Jan 24, 2024 on Apple TV. It is the story of my Dad's B17 squadron in Thorpe's Abbott, UK- The Bloody 100th.
neutral · AI labelView post →In our latest #filmreview, @luketruxal.bsky.social reviews the first two episodes of 'Masters of the Air.' balloonstodrones.com/2024/02/05/f...
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy to report that Masters Of The Air is indeed the WW2 TV show that the Dads and Dads at Heart in your life have been waiting for. Also Austin Butler in the lead pulls off the uncanny effect of appearing as Elvis appearing in a WW2 movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Even their story in Masters of the Air was just an appendix. Give them a full series, dammit!
negative · AI labelView post →For absolutely no reason at all, here's an overlay on the U.S. 8th Air Force field at Thorpe Abbotts, home of the "Bloody Hundredth," featured in the recent "Masters of the Air" series. These images show (left) the airfield as it is today, and (right) with its wartime configuration overlaid on it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I finished Masters Of The Air last night, drama series about US bombers in WWII. After Germany's surrender, the Americans were flying back to England to come home. In a tulip field, the Dutch spelled "Many thanks, Yanks!" I sadly thought, "Nobody will ever trust and appreciate us like that again."
positive · AI labelView post →Masters of the Air is okay but the recaps & previews dangling off each end of the episodes are an irritation the show isn't good enough to justify
neutral · AI labelView post →Thorpe Abbotts was also the location the HBO series Masters of the Air was set at. That snuck up on me when they announced it. Anyway it’s now part of the museum of old shit I’ve found. And I kind of love it and the link it is.
neutral · AI labelView post →Masters of the Air is the sort of show that would have gotten a giant blowout on HBO, PBS or a broadcast network, as opposed to Apple TV which didn't know what to do with it.
negative · AI labelView post →Took a quick peak at tumblr and I know nothing about this show or this actor but uh Nate Mann in “Masters of the Air” is giving MAJOR young Emmrich bones 👀👀👀👀
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Masters of the Air, and let me tell you, I'm disappointed. The German prisoner camps portrayed in that show were nothing like Hogan's Heroes. No cats were eaten on Hogan's Heroes. I'm writing a letter to the producers to express my dissatisfaction.
negative · AI labelView post →I realized that in my review of "Masters of the Air" (below) I mentioned Austin Butler and Callum Turner and Barry Keoghan and a bunch of dumb humans, but I forgot to mention the single best character in the series: The husky named Meatball. So I made sure to do that in the podcast this week.
positive · AI labelView post →I have been seeing a lot of posts on IG about the upcoming Masters of the Air series. Lots of people bringing forth recollections about the “bomber boys” in their families. I hope the humanity of these young men shows well in the series. Many of us have young airmen who perished in the burning blue.
neutral · AI labelView post →Dave Wilson, director of the original episode in Secret Level, co-directs and co-writes the project alongside John Orloff, writer of Masters of the Air and Band of Brothers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Band of Brothers Masters of the Air... Pretty good, but I'd watch the heck out of a show with logistics nerds in 1944 getting ammo n bootlaces to the front
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished watching "Masters of the Air", a wonderful Apple TV series about B-17 missions in WWII. My Dad was a waist-gunner in a B-17, and he could never talk about what happened. I'm grateful to my wife for convincing me to watch, and to the show for giving me a sense of what happened. 1/
positive · AI labelView post →Several have asked what I ended up with. I discounted the long series because I could not get them done in a weekend, even if they came highly recommended. So I here goes: Masters of the Air mini-series in 9 one hour parts. Like a little brother to the mighty Band of Brothers, but not as good 1/x
neutral · AI labelView post →Dad at 17 was original B17 8th AF / Bloody 100th at UK RAF Thorpes Abbott. Now it is a WW2 Air Musuem. The Tom Hanks/Spielberg series Masters Of The Air (Apple Tv) set there. The museum curator knew Dad when he was a 5 yr old boy as the Yanks took over RAF airfield. Dad used

neutral · AI labelView post →Silo, a slow-burn sci-fi show that's up there with my faves, is back for season two today on Apple TV+. Its Canuck creator Graham Yost is back on one of his rolls - having a hand in Slow Horses and Masters of the Air too this year. www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/televis...
neutral · AI labelView post →Just finished Masters of the Air. I’m still processing it. Lots of things to like but also lots not to like about the series.
neutral · AI labelView post →For Primetimer, my review of Apple TV's Masters Of The Air. It's no Band Of Brothers (or The Pacific), and some storytelling choices seem to defy any audience investment in the characters. But the combat scenes wow and the leads are fun to watch. When each episode ended I looked forward to the next.
neutral · AI labelView post →You could say the same for Masters of the Air, which couldn’t decide if it wanted to be an air war show or a POW show.
negative · AI labelView post →A limited series based on Stackpole's Rogue Squadron. The best bits of Band of Brothers, Masters of the Air, Battle of Britain all rolled into one, all in space
neutral · AI labelView post →Masters of the Air E4: If this dog doesn’t make it through the show I’m going to be very upset
positive · AI labelView post →Rosie's Rivet Count - Masters of the Air Episode Two Here is the second instalment of my tongue in cheek 'rivet count' aiming to confront the clear insanity that is the historical research on Apple's new show. Got a genuine rivet that needs counting? I am your man and happy to add it to the list
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, Barry Keoghan doesn't survive very well in WWII stories. Dunkirk: Dead Masters of the Air: Dead. If you see him in a WWII movie or show, I would assume he will die. (Great actor though)
neutral · AI labelView post →To this I would add: Drops of God, Masters of the Air, Franklin, Shrinking, and an obscure show called Ted Lasso.

neutral · AI labelView post →Many folks will watch the new Apple+ series Masters of the Air and wonder what’s a good book to get a firm grip on the human element of the war in the air? Two books stand out that are engaging, accessible to the general reader, and solidly researched.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks to @danieljleahy.bsky.social for a recent post (bsky.app/profile/dani...) about the 128 second trailer for 'Masters of the Air' from Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman. The nine-part mini-series is coming this January. View with link. (📸 See ALT) | 🛩️ ⚔️ 🎬 | youtu.be/2RWohylGm3c?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Some might be familiar with Schweinfurt, as it featured in the series "Masters of the Air". The city was the target of 22 air raids due to it being a major ball bearing manufacturer (and still is today). At the end of the war, around 40% of the city and 80% of the industrial zone was destroyed.
neutral · AI labelView post →I mean, these themes show up a decent amount in the Tom Hanks WW2 Cinematic Universe (Band of Brothers / The Pacific / Masters of the Air / Greyhound)
neutral · AI labelView post →Severance, Shrinking, and Slow Horses are all top tier. Masters of the Air, Hijack, Silo, and even the Morning Show aren’t as good but still fit that prestige TV mold.
neutral · AI labelView post →Best of 2024: Best movie: Dune part II Best game: Helldivers II / Marvel Rivals / Palworld Best book: The Mercy of Gods Best TV show: Shogun/ Masters of the Air
neutral · AI labelView post →It's a great series. Saw Saving Private Murphy (just kidding, Ryan) the other day. Excellent. Masters of the Air, on Apple, is good too.
positive · AI labelView post →That new Bloody 100th series on Apple was about my Dad's group. Speilberg/ Hanks follow up to "Band of Brothers ". "Masters of the Air". It was difficult viewing without crying ea episode. Knew these characters in series as older men
positive · AI labelView post →My favourite TV on Apple (in order of preference): Slow Horses, See, Silo, Foundation, Ted Lasso, For all Mankind, Shrinking, Bad Sisters, Masters of the Air, The Crowded Room, Blackbird, After Party, Morning Show, Hijack. Severance, Liaison and Shining Girls looks good but I haven’t seen them yet.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the house: Masters of the Air! Just in time to start watching the series with a couple of friends. Looking forward to exploring both the book and the video content.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now for some thoughts on Masters of the Air now that the series has concluded. Was it as good as BoB or The Pacific? - No, but a good effort imho. A campaign like this is probably too big to cover comprehensively/in depth but I did 'like' the way characters appeared & disappeared, just like they..
neutral · AI labelView post →I need a MASTERS OF THE AIR / BAND OF BROTHERS type series based on LAST STAND OF THE TIN CAN SAILORS en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Las... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_...
neutral · AI labelView post →I do like how Masters of the Air show all of the random things that could go awry. Landing gear getting stuck, engines acting up and failing, and how damn soupy it could be up there and people flying too close to each other (I remember old men I knew as a kid talking about this from the war.)
positive · AI labelView post →Now Playing: MASTERS OF THE AIR. You can taste how much planning, work, and money went into these endless CGI air battles. Four episodes in, my absolute favorite thing in the show is a shot of an actress named Emma Canning flirtatiously pointing to a donut.
positive · AI labelView post →My Dad was a member of original Bloody 100th, original B17 's that went to UK. Apple TV has the "Masters of the Air" series Abt his group - follow up to "Band of Brothers."
