I guess since it was based on an original book, the characters really did have nearly the same name? It's the sort of thing that a TV drama would never do, but might regularly happen in a random workplace.
In fact, I found it harder to tell anyone apart when they're all wearing face masks over 10,000 ft while flying identical planes and wearing identical uniforms. At least Austin Butler's voice is deep enough that you can't confuse him with anyone else. I did find the scene in the pub in episode 2 amusing when the Americans and the British are being goaded by the British RAF officers. Except that Butler aside, the two main "Americans" in that scene were the British Callum Turner and the Irish Barry Keoghan. And Keoghan's character later has to briefly "put on" an Irish accent... Fun fact: I cycled past an external set of this production back in June 2021! All I saw at the time was a roped off crashed and burnt out cockpit in a field, alongside the usual tell-tale signs of a film crew at work. Wiki says that production began in February that year. So this has been a long time coming. I really liked this and will be sticking with it. Apple TV+ easily has my highest hit-rate for streaming services right now.
