Masters of the Air started strong with some great air action, then entered mid-season doldrums and seems to be improving a little in the final stretch but with some very odd dramatic choices.
The Tuskegee Airmen can't avoid the achilles heel of this series, namely that the writing makes the characters dull and interchangeable. Introducing a bunch of new characters this late in the game is a bad idea.
The actors seem charming enough but I can't believe that a bunch of military guys have vocabularies that are clean enough for church (that goes for the white characters too).
The POW plotline still continues to be interesting but how could they simply gloss over D-Day like that? I believe that the air force was involved in some capacity, right? It's not going to be like the stellar D-Day episode that Band of Brothers did, but they could have done better.
