I'm not sure any duo does better with WWII stories than Spielberg and Hanks.

Greyhound is Naval.Hope they do a Navy one next. Did Army in Europe (Band of Brothers), Marines in Pacific (The Pacific), Now Air, hopefully Naval theme next.
Unfortunately these have all taken 10 years between each instalment, so it will probably be a while.
Greyhound is a movie, not a series like these. Its a great movie, but not a series that can develop more of a long form story. Its not a "sequel" so to speak to Band of Brothers and The Pacific, like Masters of the Air is.Greyhound is Naval.

The last episode had me legitimately holding my breath through the entirety of the episode. No spoilers but the scene with Baby Face and Quinn left me speechless. An unimaginable circumstance.Anybody else watching? Pretty harrowing stuff. The last episode was incredible. Horrifying and heroic.
I’ve been loving it. It’s been great so far.Anybody else watching? Pretty harrowing stuff. The last episode was incredible. Horrifying and heroic.
That was tough to watch. And if you want to, there are many similar (or even more harrowing) true stories from the war about airmen with that duty. Not for the faint of heart but I think it’s important for us all to appreciate what the greatest generation went through.The last episode had me legitimately holding my breath through the entirety of the episode.

It’s unbelievable how any soldier came back alive from WWII.
watch Generation Kill too. I would rank Generation Kill 1st, with Band of Brothers a close second, then a distant 3rd The Pacific. just watched episode one of Masters last night liked it and will be up there with the 1st 2 if it keeps similar through out.I started watching The Pacific, but bailed on it after about 3 episodes. Posters here recommended the older Band of Brothers and I thought it was great. Hopefully this proves to be more like BoB.
My Grandpa was a B24 pilot during WWII, stationed in Italy. He talked some about the war later in his life-about the time my boys were in Jr High/HS. He also put together a diary/memoir and one thing he mentions when he discusses their flights is the flak. But now that we’re watching this, it gives a whole new deeper meaning to his words.
Watch For All Mankind, Foundation, and Severance next.I specifically got Apple TV + for this show and it's been great so far. Very harrowing.
Semi-related; I also watched the "Monarch" series (Godzilla/Monsterverse) and I felt that was fantastic as well.
