video author rightly points out plot failures, lack of character building, arcs and all that.
but.... this was supposed to have been a historically accurate series, not a single hero discovers himself while flying over Germany. It was about bomber crews, not singular characters.
Yes, those two things were nicely intertwined in Band of Brothers, but those guys made some misteps in this area too - see controversy about private Blithe.
I understand that lack of standard story makes it non-consumable for wider audience, who needs a hero to cheer for and keep their attention, but this isn't that story.
And yes, series was rushed, whole Tuskegee airman bit was unnecessary as it wasn't in a book in anyway, even if it was historically accurate, it brought nothing to the table.
I thought that episode on mental strain was a good one and would have preferred more focus to be shown there, as true horror and losses for bloody 100th aren't made quite clear.
Either way, i'm glad we have it, warts and all. Better that than another stupid superhero crap movie/series.
