I think comparing anything to BoB is going to leave you disappointed, it would be in a lot of peoples top ten or even top five shows of all time. The Pacific was good but it was nowhere near the level of BoB. I think both Masters and Pacific suffer when compared to BoB as it feels much more tightly focused.
Spielberg is aware hes running out of time and is seemingly focused on fitting in as much as possible so he had less time to progress this. Plus as you mentioned, this has been stuck for quite a while, at some point you just want to move on.
The Pacific I initially didn’t enjoy because I directly compared it to BoB.
When I realized it was a telling of multiple memoirs vs bobs singular story, it made it work.
I went into masters of the air with that in mind, and still found myself thinking it was rushed.
On its own it’s alright, but they did a LOT of window dressing I felt like.
I enjoyed it, but was supremely let down.
