Pan Am TV Series

[ras47]

Anybody watch Pan AM? It ran on ABC in 2011-2012 for just a single season (14 episodes) and is now available to stream for free on Amazon Prime. It was a period piece focusing on the stewardesses and pilots of Pan AM Airways in the 1960's.

Naturally as a BLRO owner I was intrigued. Caught the first episode out of curiosity. I'm old enough to have flown on Pan Am, and they are a large part of the GMT Master's history, so of course I'd give it a look. I do love historical fiction when it gives us a look at the styles and attitudes of an era. Social mores, clothes, cars, and planes.

Not a bad look back, some semi-interesting story lines. Like the CIA using the stweardesses to gather information and make drops. The first episode had a few quick shots of the GMT - only glimpses really - but even less than I expected. Not a great series overall, but interesting enough and the price is right: free if you're an Amazon Prime member.
