"Masters of the Air" was undoubtedly one of the biggest shows of the year Was it one of the best? That is debatable I loved the first two episodes, but things have been rocky since then and I fear the show will eventually crash and burn I myself watched the last episode on my Apple TV Plus

But whether you loved the sequels to "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific" or, like me, felt something was missing, now that "Masters of the Air" is over, you need a show to watch next Luckily, there are several war TV shows to watch after you finish watching the nine-part miniseries on Apple TV Plus

So without further ado, here are nine of the best shows like "Masters of the Air" available on the best streaming services, including Netflix, Max, and Paramount Plus

Whether you like "Masters of the Air" or feel it doesn't live up to its potential, there's no denying that it's no match for the original Band of Brothers is one of HBO's best-known miniseries, telling the story of the 101st Airborne's "Easy Company" It was a huge success and would spawn two follow-up miniseries: HBO's "The Pacific" (more on that later) and "Masters of the Air"

This 10-part limited series focused primarily on Major Dick Winters (Damian Lewis) and Captain Lewis Nixon (Ron Livingston) It follows them and the soldiers of Easy Company through the Normandy landings, Operation Market Garden, the siege of Bastogne, the invasion of Germany, the liberation of the Kaufering concentration camp, the capture of Eagle's Nest (Hitler's high mountain refuge), and the occupation of Germany by the Allied forces Incredible television and a must-see for everyone

Season 1 Episodes: 10 Stream now on Netflix or Max

After watching Band of Brothers, you need to watch The Pacific, a 2010 sequel that turns its attention from the US Army in Europe to the US Marine Corps and the Pacific Front in World War II

Like its predecessor, the show features a large ensemble cast, including Rami Malek in a star-making performance as Private Meriel "Snafu" Shelton and John Bernal as Sergeant Manuel "Manny" Rodriguez Unlike its predecessor (and more like "Masters of the Air"), however, the film focuses on several different storylines instead of focusing on the main character While not as good as the original, this copy is still worth seeing

Season 1 Number of episodes: 10 Stream now on Netflix or Max

When people talk about the greatest TV show of all time, this show is sure to be mentioned Starring Alan Alda as Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce and Loretta Swit as Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan, this sitcom tells the story of key personnel of the US Army's 4077th Mobile Surgical Hospital (MASH) in the Korean War The film is based on the story of the key personnel of the US Army's 4077th Mobile Surgical Hospital (MASH) during the Korean War

Despite being a comedy, the show does not run away from the darkness of war In fact, it does not run away from much of it: there are 256 episodes, with each episode covering only a few days of actual time, and many of the early season stories are based on interviews with actual MASH surgeons The series finale, "Goodbye, Farewell, Amen," was the most-watched telecast in US history, not the Super Bowl or the moon landing

Season 11 Number of episodes: 256 Available on Hulu

Again, spoiler alert for "Masters of the Air," a large portion of the second half of the show takes place in Stahlach Luft III, a German POW camp run by the Nazi Luftwaffe that held Allied airmen as prisoners of war

In the Apple TV Plus miniseries, this is undeniably a dark chapter in the story In Hogan's Heroes, however, set in the fictional Stalag 13, things are much brighter The sitcom stars Bob Crane as Colonel Robert E Hogan, who is running a secret special operation with the other prisoners in the camp Overseeing the camps are Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Werner Klemperer) and his escort sergeant Hans Schulz (John Banner) Those looking for a good laugh away from the horrors of war can watch this acclaimed series in its entirety for free

Season 6 Number of episodes: 168 Available on Freevee and Prime Video

Spoiler alert for those who have not yet seen "Masters of the Air": the Apple TV Plus miniseries definitely carries the DNA of "Catch-22" Based on the novel of the same name, this Hulu miniseries stars Christopher Abbott as Major John Yossarian, a WWII US Army Air Corps bomber who is thrown into more and more missions the more he tries to escape combat [Given that the former is a work of fictional dark comedy and the latter is a dramatization of historical fact, it is sort of harrowing But if you want a more comedic examination of the horrors of using US airmen as cannon fodder, this is the show for you Abbott is especially great as Yossarian, and George Clooney's Shyskop is equally great

Season: 1 Episode: 6 Available on Hulu

Sequel to the 1981 film of the same name Produced by Bavarian Fiction for Sky One, the show takes a behind-the-scenes look at the horrors of World War II Specifically, the film follows the crew of the U-boat U-612 as they engage in special missions in the North Atlantic They are led by Captain Klaus Hoffman (Rick O'Conn), but not all of them share the Nazi cause

This is a common theme with the previous 1981 film, which argued that historically the U-boat Navy was the least Nazi-friendly of the German forces during World War II The show is entirely in German, and although only the first season is available in the US, that season is relatively self-contained In terms of unique perspectives on war, nothing beats 2018's Das Boot, which is why it deserves to be on this list

Season 4 (only Season 1 is available in the US) Number of episodes 32 Available on Hulu

"Masters of the Air" tells the story of the US Air Force's 100th Bomb Group stationed at Thorpe Abbott Air Force Base in eastern England Because of its setting, the program hits upon the reality of a war-torn and constantly bombed England And when the men are forced to eject from their planes on a mission over Europe, they see firsthand the damage the war has wrought on the continent focuses on

"World on Fire" stars Jonah Hauer-King as Harry Chase, an interpreter at the British Embassy in Warsaw; Helen Hunt as Nancy Campbell, an American journalist in Berlin; Douglas, a bus conductor suffering from World War I-induced PTSD Like Masters of the Air, the film features a large ensemble cast and deals with many events of the war, including the defense of the Polish Post Office in Danzig, the Battle of the River Plate, the evacuation of Dunkirk, and the Battle of Britain

Season: 2 Episodes: 13 Stream now on Prime Video (PBS Masterpiece subscription required)

World War II is probably the most covered war in Hollywood Especially the latter, but there is no shortage of shows and movies But while Max has two of the best war TV shows of all time, it is not the only war that has a Max miniseries

The Valley of Tears is the story of the 1973 Yom Kippur War (Ramadan War, October War, 1973 Arab-Israeli War, or the Fourth Arab-Israeli War) This war was fought in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights between Israel and the Arab states, primarily Egypt The war was supported by the Cold War superpowers and was one of several proxy wars in a protracted conflict If you want to see a well-made miniseries about a little-known war, this is the perfect show

Season 1 Episodes: 10 Max

This show definitely falls into the police drama category It is by no means a historical war drama (or comedy) like the others on this list However, if you want to branch out into a more contemporary genre while retaining the military motif, "SEAL Team" is a good choice

This CBS television show follows the lives of an elite team of Navy SEALs led by Jason Hayes (David Boreanaz) They are constantly on the most dangerous missions The show examines not only their participation in those missions, but also the impact the missions have on the team's personal lives The show's seventh season will conclude in August
