Glad I stuck with Masters of the Air. Gets really good from the 3rd episode onwards
Have you finished all the episodes? I think overall it's decent and I'm grateful for Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's continuous efforts in making these WWII series over the past two decades. Although Masters of the Air is not as great as The Pacific or Band of Brothers but I do think these are stories that need to be told. The WWII veterans are almost all gone now so these projects are a necessary education for every generation onwards, all across the world. Watching the series has renewed my interest in this particular subject and I've been reading the books that The Pacific is based upon which has given me a more in-depth insight into what the soldiers and marines went through both physically and mentally.
Apple has also released a documentary to accompany Masters of the Air which is worth watching, too.

Yeah finished yesterday! I agree it's not a patch on Band of Brothers, but not much is as good as that. Will give the documentary a go.
I was reading up on the POW camps yesterday and the tactics that the Allied prisoners had to catch German infiltrators. Shows like MOTA do a great job in highlighting events of the war that I was previously unaware of.
For those of you whom have read and enjoyed A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles, the eight episode adaptation starring Ewan McGregor will be streaming on Paramount Plus from this (Good) Friday.
I’m 5 episodes into 3 body problem. I like it, but not blown away by it. It’s got some typical Benioff and Weiss wow scenes but it’s also a bit cheesy at times.
Just finished Sexy Beast. I liked it. Took a few episodes to get in to it as you need to disconnect from the movie. Tasmin Greig and Stephen Moyer are both excellent.
Been enjoying the perfect pub walks with Bill Bailey. Just the Shaun Ryder one to watch.
It's thoughtful in letting the guests talk about their past and current mindset. Some of the countryside footage is incredible, great reminder of how naturally beautiful parts of England are.

Shaun Ryder is excellent in his episode … as is Bill Bailey

I finished the series of Sexy Beast over the weekend and I have to say I thought it was brilliant, top tier television. The main 2 actors were perfect for Don and Gal and vampire Bill is awesome, like scene stealing awesome and more than a bit hammy at times as Teddy Bass who was played by Ian McShane in the film
Also rewatching Saxondale, Steve Coogan shits on this a bit but I remember finding it funny first time round and Tommy reminds me of my father in law as well. Its still very funny and Coogan-y
Blue Lights on iPlayer. Whilst there's no shortage of police dramas about, this one set in northern Ireland is one of the better ones based on first couple of episodes

Yeah Blue Lights was one of our favourite new series when it came out last year (or end of 2022 maybe) and has a great mix of light hearted scenes mixed in with some powerful scenes.
Enjoyed Nell the Renegade on Disney... Good family fun if that's what you're after. If you want something a tiny bit darker then The Red Queen on Amazon, not bad and a great book.

Yes, sensational drama. Can't wait for Series 3 which I think is out in May/June - and they've already filmed Series 4.
For those who don't know it, its a comedy set in the current day, the only difference is every one gets a super power when they reach 18.
This is the last I read a few weeks ago.
