I enjoyed the Finale. It had some amazing moments, but those moments, while powerful, just paper over the cracks in the rest of the series.

They do the standard: "This is what happened to these guys post-war" thing at the end, which was more character development than we got during the rest of the entire series.

I did really, really enjoy many parts of the show, but it just seemed....disjointed?

I wont say more than that because the Finale just came out and lots havent seen it yet, but it is very good, I'll say that.

But the show as a whole? I feel it was a bit of a swing and a miss, but I do worry that its because I'm viewing it through the lens of comparing it to Band of Brothers, which isnt fair.

And I'll finish this post with this: As a non-AvGeek...the scenes that brought the biggest smile to my face involved the P51 Mustangs.

They should make a show about them.
