TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Apple TV+) Part 9 and Final Thoughts

Posted: March 18, 2024 at 9:03 am   /   Television, Television Reviews

With the release of Part Nine, the official run of Masters of the Air has been completed. It’s been a hell of a roller-coaster, for mostly good reasons. I don’t want to spoil what happens to the remaining cast, so I’m going to do more of an overview of the highlights and lowlights. When The […]

D-Day. As the 100th regroups, it becomes pretty clear their focus is on the Allied invasion of Europe at Normandy. Crosby, or Croz, is preparing flight plans for roughly 200 different missions as he pops pills and chugs coffee in an effort to stay awake for 72 straight hours before June 6. Inevitably, the lack […]

“I’m not dead yet.” – Major Gale Cleven, probably Quick word of warning, cat/animal lovers may want to skip the first five minutes or so of this episode. It had to be a tremendous boost of morale to both Cleven and Egan to see each other in Stalag Luft III, along with several other members […]

Part Six begins in the aftermath of Part Five, showing three very different outcomes for members of the 100th. It’s a change of pace from Five, as there isn’t any aerial combat and the action on the ground is relatively limited. Major Egan, whose plane was shot down, is seen attempting to find food and […]

Someone get me a Dune popcorn bucket. Oh, that has nothing to do with my review; they just didn’t have any at the screening I attended. Thanks to his seminal work in the last 11-12 years, director Denis Villeneuve has established himself as one of the top directors of his generation. If you look at […]

TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 5) on Apple TV+

At this point, halfway through the series, Masters of the Air has established a bit of a formula for its episodes. Roughly a third to a half of the episode focuses on the current bombing mission for the 100th, and the other two-thirds deal with the aftermath as well as the preparation for the next […]

And now for the aftermath. While Part 3 showed the extent of the Regensburg bombing mission, Part 4 is a decidedly less exciting episode, as the 100th deals not only with its success in the previous mission, but also its losses. It’s a change of scenery and pace from what I consider one of the […]

Do you like absurdly good-looking people? Are you a fan of having so many plot twists, the plot twists have their own plot twists? Are you needing something to do for two hours and 20 minutes? If so, have I got the movie for you! Mathew Vaughn has been in the industry for a while, […]

TV Review: MASTERS OF THE AIR (Ep. 3) on Apple TV+

Posted: February 2, 2024 at 1:41 pm   /   Television Reviews

What a ride. While parts 1 and 2 of Masters of the Air were a bit of an introduction to the characters and a warm-up to how the 100th Bomber Group operated during World War II, part 3 is nothing less than the equivalent of the Omaha Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan, dropping the […]
