It's like the showrunners couldn't overcome the problem of all the main characters being masked for virtually all of the action sequences. So they decided to spend a ton of time outside the airplanes doing... stuff.
I'm a huge vintage aviation guy, and massive WW2 honk, and instead of interesting stuff like that they focus on bike races in the mess hall, and the nearest skirt, and the cute kid with the robot arm.
Like they fly to Africa. Land in the desert. I'm thinking "hmmm... I wonder how they are getting home? Planes all shot up and occupied Europe between them and England".
Next episode - back at their base, a few weeks later. Talking to girls, travelling around, discussing promotions. Not a word about it. Barely an inconvenience!
This show should have been a 10/10 for me. I grant that it's not over yet, but I'm super disappointed so far.
(That said - the guys with the resistance storyline are the most compelling IMO - great stuff there, real tension.)

Definitely plan to watch this. Liev is one of my favorites too but I really like Pablo as well. He was awesome in the Dockworkers season on the wire.
