OK, the Apple TV Plus weekend was interesting. Here's what we got through and my impressions: Masters of the Air - I watched the first five and enjoyed the action sequences a lot (I used to watch "12 O'Clock High" reruns as a kid and didn't get to see a real B-17 up close until five years ago). The story outside the bombing missions was so-so. I couldn't help but compare the series to "Band of Brothers," "The Pacific," "Memphis Belle," "Red Tails," and even "Flyboys." It didn't leave me wanting to go back and see the rest. Bad Sisters - Fun first episode. We would watch more. Ted Lasso - Not my cuppa but my wife liked it. The premise was ripped more or less from "Major League" with an intercultural thing thrown in. Slow Horses - Everyone seems to love it, but the first episode was disjointed and unpleasant, to say the least. Is it all about Oldman being gross and obnoxious, or do they get past that? Didn't turn me on. Manhunt - Very well done. Keen to see more. Criminal Record - Another venture into the ugly, corrupt old cop genre. Didn't leave me wanting to go wallow in it more unless the senior cop turns out to be a force for good somehow. Did I miss anything?
