I had a feeling this thread would be like that too aye

It was good series, good luck getting any quality discussion here

>another ww2 shit
>clooney

pass. i see why boomers love this shit.

I really liked it, tbqhwy. I might rewatch it at sme point.
Nah, it's good because it's got none of the usual US WW2 stuff. It's just centered around the pilots and it's set in Italy. No BoB shit with "muh joos" and "muh greatest generation".

From the people that watched it, i only got positive reactions.
How does it compare to the movie?

we talked about it when it came out

someone said clooney is like the google translate of directors. He'll get all the words "right" but they won't quite fit together.

I don't remember if I watched it or not. weird.

It's alright for what is but it's a really poor adaption of the book. It gets the tone and the characters all wrong.

Yeah, I watched it. And it was kino/10

i really liked the book, should i still watch it?

the acting seems rely bad from the trailer so no

it was excellent
I rewatched the whole thing just to savour that scene where he gives up sanity

The book is amazing, the show was well made. I highly enjoyed it.

This has to be the worst shill thread I ever saw

I lasted 10 minutes. shit was awful and nothing like the book

Truly. They aren't sending their best.

I haven't watched it but the book was better.

The novel is of my favourite things ever so for that reason I really didn't enjoy the series. Everything is played a lot straighter and the absurd zany screwball feel is downplayed massively.

what did it do better than the film?

>covers at best 20% of the book
>inverted ending cause we can't portray a deserter as a hero
Yikes

what happens at the end of the show?

it was okay but the tone was inconsistent, it's like they had no idea whether to make a grim ww2 drama or an oddball comedy and tried (and failed) to do both. Like at the beginning when he's naked and screaming, was this one of their attempts at doing a funny scene or a touching scene? Shit like that happens throughout.

really enjoyed it user. the last episode damn near broke my little heart.

the intro wasn't meant to be either one. in media res is used to capture the audiences attention. It's silly to think that something has to be either all comedy or all drama, because life isn't. It's simply showing us the absurdity of military bureaucracy

Pretty shit, watched a few episodes and didn't laugh once.

>It's simply showing us the absurdity of military bureaucracy

They failed to show that. The show is more like a series of unlucky events strewn together with added random scenes like when they're in Morocco.
