For a 6 year old. The flight mechanics were fricking pathetic.
3/10, and that's generous. Apple really wrecked this thing.

Just finished. The actual war scenes were pretty good. The dialogue scenes back at base or when someone was on leave were pretty weak.
7/10.
Yea I was pretty disappointed overall. Had high hopes for it especially given the creator of the show, but the dialogue and acting was just not good. Even with the few characters that lasted throughout the whole show, you didn't really care about them that much. The CGI was really odd too, it was like they didn't balance their budget right because half the episodes the CGI looked good and the other half it was laughably bad.
I'd probably go 6/10.

Thorpe Abbots would be a pretty neat place to visit as well.
Was stationed very near there in the late 80’s at RAF Lakenheath. Beautiful countryside to say the least. Wish I had spent more time visiting WW2 points of interest and less chasing women in those days.
Something else I’ll add as a personal tie-in to the show.
My mom grew up in Nurnburg during the war. As the war was winding down the SS came to the door and told her mother that her 11 yr old brother ( eldest sibling) was to go with them and report to Army training camp.
Her mother protested furiously until the SS officer with the soldiers said “Either he comes with us or we shoot the other children (3 between 5 and 10 yrs old).
He went with them but luckily never got out of training before the war in Europe ended.
After he left, the rest of the family had to relocate outside Nurnburg after it was bombed and their apt was destroyed.
Moral of the story, never…EVER give up your guns to a gov’t.

Eh. I liked it a lot.
The one thing I didn't like, as others have stated, was the randomly writing in the Tuskogee Airmen toward the end. I'm all about representation and inclusion and such, but it just felt like tokenism, in all honesty.
If they would have somehow included a parallel storyline of them throughout the series, then fine... but to just insert them randomly at that point in the story just felt like pandering.
I told my wife I expected them to like do a strafing run and launch some rockets and then have "All I do is Win" come in on the soundtrack randomly.

It was a decent series but the main problem was that each episode was 75% really boring.
