Anybody watching this one? First episode built the suspense... still a lot of questions and holes in the plot to fill in...

Watching this, enjoying it so far. Idris Elba is one of those actors who rarely makes anything bad.

I find it very addictive, I really like it. Not sure if it is realistic but for some reason, I am getting hooked to it.

The hijackers don’t really seem all that threatening. I found the old Harrison Ford movie „Air Force One“ from the 90s much more threatening. Overall it gives me very „Canadian“ prime time tv production vibes

Decided to watch this yesterday and really enjoying it, binged the first 4 episodes, didn't realise they were weekly episodes

Hoped I could just binge the series in 1 sitting, looking forward to the next episode, but think I'm gunna wait till they are all out before carrying on (think there's only 3 more to come)

That last episode was ridiculous. It feels like it was a filler. Too bad, because I kind of liked it, so far.

I am having trouble understanding some of the conversations - I guess I"m not good at English English

Really ridiculous the car hidden in the forest and the reaction of the minister. I liked the tension at the end, although that new character coming out from nowhere is a bit ridiculous. Too bad because it could be a great show.

Yeah, the gun-toting chick came out of nowhere and shoots the pilot. But no worries, apparently she can fly a jumbo jet, too.

I mean I understand it’s a TV show and it must appeal to a wide audience but come on a little bit of realism or at least not too much of inconsistencies, isn’t it too much to ask?

Look the scene with the kid. What is it supposed to bring to the story? Is he going to get caught and use as leverage or what? And the mother, where is she now?

I hope we have a conclusion at the end of the season. And the baddies…they are just criminals, that’s it?

I finished the series, I wish there was more, and maybe dig into these families a bit more. I feel like it's unfinished, like I am left wanting more.

So the first series I could muster through on atv and it started off well. I’m impressed by the audio and video quality. Hdr looked great. Shows on atv always look best imo using Apple TV of all the streaming services. It’s just finding something worth watching that’s a struggle.

That last episode though. Ugh. But still watchable.

Just watched till the last episode.
Coming from 15 years of airlines and an entire life as aviation geek: my goodness, the amount of technical mistakes and non sense is huge!

For me it’s a big no!

You don't even need to know much about aviation at all to see the 30,000ft wide plot holes! I enjoyed it as a limited series though and there was sufficiently enough left open for pondering (and a potential S2) while still wrapping up the actual hijack story. I think the only thing that actually disappointed me was that the Sam character wasn't ultimately revealed as the instigator of the whole thing...
