Pan Am - The Complete Series

This was a great series, shame it didn’t go further

Absolutely fun, insightful, and period-correct (for broadcast TV). It is a true shame that this show - specifically as cast - did not get the multiple seasons it deserved.If you are a fan of period pieces, and the early '60's in particular, don't miss this.

This is a great series. Very sad that there wasn’t a season two but I really enjoyed the season that there was.

Of the entire first season — the only season…As one story arc, “the second act” gets muddled and not a bit maudlin.This is about many forms of naiveté. So we see many, convenient to the plot bogus choices that anyone over 35 will grimace at.This actually improves with a second viewing — over two years later.It is about a time when many notions shift in importance along with attitudes. Said cultural shifts being variously well handled often with less grace but sometimes with more. So it is really a costume piece that will find favor as a cult classic. In part because the majority of the cast is quite good as is a majority of the writing.Worth owning.

Good series

Good movie.

There is much I could say about this show but I’d be a decade late in doing so. For those who haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it.Pan Am is a nostalgic look at the dawn of the golden age of air travel beginning in the early 1960s. For those who enjoyed AMC’s Mad Men, I suspect you will also relish this rosy-tinted nostalgic look back into America’s past. The show introduced us to a very young Margot Robbie, who was supported in her endeavors by a superbly talented group of actors.The show does succinctly deal with the blatant misogyny, racism, class-strife, and political changes of those times. Perhaps not enough by today’s standards, but certainly enough to inject a modicum of reality into an otherwise fun television series. Really enjoyable and addicting television! 5 stars from me.

I originally ordered this because it was on sale and I figured it might be good for a rainy day, it really didn't catch my interest but I grew up in the '60s and always loved going to the airport, so, what the heck?! Was I ever surprised! From the very start, the show kept me wanting to just watch a little bit more each time, until I found myself spending several hours glued to the TV set, not wanting to miss out on what was soon to come.I never would have dreamed it would be such a good show..never!! Set in 1963, the show actually makes you feel like you're there again.. pretty girls, timeless fashions, great acting, action, adventure, the characters almost seem to become like family and I felt as though I traveled the world alongside them as the show progressed. I was truly sad when it ended but I must say that the ending was very appropriate and just fit right in with the rest of the series...a real sleeper as far as good shows and good buys go, I recommend this highly to anyone interested in the theme and the times. If only we could go back in time...sigh..this is probably as close as I'll ever get! A very believable show.
