I see that there is a 'follow up' to Band of Brothers and the Pacific (not directly of course) called Masters of the Air. I wondered if anyone on here had started watching it?
Fairly recently I decided to watch Band of Brothers in full (saw most of it a long time ago). Partly because this year is the 80th anniversary of when my grandfather on my dad's side died a few weeks after D-Day.
Then I decided to properly watch the Pacific. That is a bit more graphic at times and shows what terrible things happened. I was particularly moved to find out one of the main characters chose to go back and then died. He'd been given a 'pass' because of his Medal of Honor due to heroics and then did even more in his final battle. I am surprised some of the others features in it in real life even could go on to live a life. Not sure if I'd ever re-watch the Thin Red Line.
The new 'Masters of the Air' is said to be really good but I don't have Apple TV.
