I watched the first episode and part of the second and am not sure that I want to finish it. It bothers me that they show the Yanks and Brits disrespecting one another and make it sound like the Yanks were brave for flying by day and the Brits were cowardly for flying at night. The fact of the matter is that the Brits started out bombing during the day before the Yanks even entered the war and lost so many airmen that they gradually shifted to night bombing to reduce losses. Also, some Yanks flew for the RAF before the U.S. even entered the war, and the Brits were happy that they finally entered. I've only ever heard of Brits that served having good things to say about the Yanks, so showing them both disrespecting one another feels inauthentic.
I've read countless reviews that complain about the same thing and the series as a whole being decidedly pro-American. I'm American, but I'm not interested in seeing us promoted as heroes at the expense of our allies. Also, the Yanks in this seem very stereotypical, especially Butler's character, who looks and acts out of place, like he's channeling James Dean from a decade later. In general, the series feels stereotypical and inauthentic. Also, I'm just not interested in these characters, whom I don't know much about and can't even tell apart, aside from the pretty boy. I'm only 1.5 episodes in, which I realize is early, but I can't find the motivation to continue and have read enough reviews that suggest that I may not like it better if I do.
