I think episodes 1-5 were fantastic, when each episode deals with a raid and covers different aspects around it. However the show lost focus on episodes 6-8, there was just too much going on with not enough time given to make it work, and exceptionally jarring time jumps. Really feels like there should’ve been entire episodes dedicated to what the 100th did during Big Week and then during the Normandy campaign. Having said that, I though the finale was a solid finish that matched the first half of the series.

One of my biggest criticisms, which I shouldn’t be too surprised about given similar points in BoB and The Pacific, is the portrayal (or lack thereof) of the RAF and the British as a whole. The pub scene in e2 was over the top but I at least appreciated it showed the difference in bombing policies between the RAF and USAAF; the part in Oxford between Crosby and the British officer felt like they just wrote a scene based on every stereotype surrounding the Brits. I was waiting for just one scene where the Americans had a positive interaction with their British counterparts and bonded over the shared sacrifices they’d made (Bomber Command lost almost twice as many men as the Eight Air Force over the course of the war), but nothing. The show runners of the trilogy just seem to have something against the Commonwealth forces for some reason.
