Franklin. Limited series (8 episodes). Starts streaming on April 12th.

 

Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” “Franklin” explores the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of Benjamin Franklin’s career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when — as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance — he embarks on a secret mission to France.

So a few episodes in on Masters and it is excellent, with that being said I'm big on period pieces, and for sure all WW2 things.

Is it as great or on par with Band of Brothers and The Pacific?

Was this one posted yet? Started it last night and got two episodes in before it was time to sleep. It's definitely one to make you think... Also where TFS got the "Octopus" thing for DC and MxSports. Wink

ODubs WW2 trilogy series ranking on a scale of 1-10.

Band of Brothers - 9

Band of Brothers is a 2001 American[1] war drama miniseries. The series dramatizes the history of "Easy" Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division. It begins during Easy Company's paratrooper training and follows its participation in the Western Front of World War II. 

 

The Pacific - 9

The Pacific is a 2010 American war drama miniseries. The series is a companion piece to the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers and focuses on the United States Marine Corps's actions in the Pacific Theater of Operations within the wider Pacific War. Whereas Band of Brothers followed the men of Easy Company of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment through the European Theater, The Pacific centers on the experiences of three Marines (Robert Leckie, Eugene Sledge, and John Basilone) who were in different regiments (1st, 5th, and 7th, respectively) of the 1st Marine Division.

 

Masters of the Air - 9.5

Masters of the Air is a 2024 American war drama streaming television miniseries. It follows the actions of the 100th Bomb Group, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit in the Eighth Air Force in eastern England during World War II.[3] The series serves as a companion to Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010).

 

All three are outstanding pieces of storytelling and should be watched by all Americans and other citizens of other countries involved in WW2. I gave the MOA a tad higher rating because being a newer series the "special effects" were just outstanding with bomber formations, German ME109's, FW190's, etc.

Highly recommend all three.

I would have given The Pacific 10 due to the way it managed to show the brutal way that war was waged over there, but all 3 were riveting viewing, to me the others were easy watches.

The mark of a good show - would you watch it again, its an easy yes to all 3.

The Gentleman on Netflix is pretty wild in a Succession/breaking bad kind of way. Add in some mobsters and a bit of comedy and its not too bad.

"The Darkest Hour" is one of my favorite films, Winston Churchill film that takes place over just a few months.

His famous speech to Parliament at the end of the film was just outstanding.

Gran Turismo was an excellent movie - about the creation of the game and how they let the best gamer race against the actual racers.

Watched Roadhouse on Prime and it was pretty entertaining. It's funny because I've caught hundreds of lobster from the south end of that bridge to Fred the Tree since i was a little kid and the bars were exactly like that as a teen but 1st rule. Good times.

It's an odd one, the more it goes on the less sense it makes. I'm talking plot as well as the science of it.

Was a big fan of his in the series Justified, then in the Hateful Eight. (70 mm Ultra Panavision).

One of his best scenes.

Fallout is exactly like the game and we are enjoying it. I played through a few of the Fallout games and currently playing Fallout76 so its a pretty cool perspective.  So busy that I am only halfway through episode 3 but looking forward to each session.

Watched the first episode of Fallout. I don’t play video games so no perspective there. It feels a lot like Badlands.

Thanks man, we start shooting in 2 weeks. I am doing both Landman S1 and Lioness S2 at the same time, so it's going to be a busy rest of the year for sure. Who doesn't love 70 hour weeks at 50 years old? hahaha Laughing

I would guess you are really going to like it if you are a fan of the game. It's pretty much the game.

Couldn't really get behind the Fallout games but absolutely loved the show. Had to watch the Season Finale again to wrap my head around some things
