It was pretty bad. Endless story lines or brief moments that looked like something was being developed and just go nowhere or are completely forgotten. The Crosby love affair especially and mystery of the woman’s job was a giant waste of time. It would have been much better off focusing on perhaps one specific year of missions.

Yeah, this series doesn’t hold up to BOB or the Pacific. But it grew on me. In the end I really enjoyed it. There is also a companion 1-hour documentary, which seems good so far. I’ve read and watched so many things about WW2, been to the Normandy beaches, etc. and I never knew much about the 100th. I’m glad their story was told.
Same. Ending was better. It did have huge problems that I’m flabbergasted that Spielberg and Hanks allowed to stay in or fix.

Definitely bringing up the rear. BoB, Pacific and then way back Masters of the air.

So disappointed

The accompanying documentary, The Bloody Hundredth, is very good, more satisfying than the series itself. Had interviews with some of the real guys, including Rosie.

Thanks, I'll make a point to watch that



Overall, pretty disappointed with the series, though the finale was a lot better than the rest of it. At least they got me to care about the main characters at the end. Mostly what it did was make me want to rewatch BoB.
