I finally cashed in my free Apple TV+ trial specifically to watch Masters Of The Air and I'm very happy to share that it was so worth it. As the follow-up to HBO's massively successful Spielberg classic Band Of Brothers, there was every chance it was going to be good. Sure, its first companion piece, The Pacific, was less of a hit, but this latest air-based instalment gives this storytelling world new excitement and life.
I'd like to say that it is simply the true stories of heroism, the directing, acting or the Spielberg touch that are behind its magic. And it is all of that, and then some. But it is also the audio and visual splendour that truly blew me away.
