Purely from a tension-building experience, it feels like the tension of a story about a 7-hour flight hijacking would be best enhanced by releasing all 7 episodes together...

[arthurford]

One episode in and I’m hooked. Of course, Idris Elba has a lot to do with that decision. Instant credibility…

[iamthestog]

There is no way in this world that a Captain would let a hijacker in the cockpit even if they have a loved one hostage, he's only signing his own death warrant along with 200 other lives. However if you can get over the fact that the Captain allowed hijackers into the cockpit it's quite a gripping series.

Just finished the first two episodes…thouroughly enjoyed them!!! Can’t wait for next week now! Thanks for the spot on review!!!

I always have to check in with your review before I start a new series so I know if it's worth my time. I was looking forward to this one, glad to hear you liked it!

[janechoy]

Binged this show - what a thrill of a watch as long as I don't think too hard about the plot line!

[milkflavored]

Just binged this show and I had several moments where I had to get up and walk around my bedroom haha it was INTENSE! But soooo good. Agreed that the ending felt abrupt but I’ll forgive it bc everything else had me on the edge of my seat. Also found a few actors outside of Elba to start following — I hope to see several in other roles (once the strike is resolved)

[zscout]

Be advise if you dislike characters being incompetent only when the plot demands them to be then avoid this show as the first episode alone will drive you crazy

[s.q.s_____]

I was bothered by how much the guy in charge let Sam get involved, speak, and drive his decisions. Very unprofessional hijackers. I don’t believe for a minute they had the brains to put the hijacking in place.

[SkyStream-lujk]

A fabulous show! I started randomly and hooked now

[JackKirbyFan]

Hi Chris, I really enjoyed The Recruit - your recommendation and can't wait for season 2

[ppoint]

I believe there are seven episodes to be released for this? It might be better to binge watch this. The tension can be too much to want to wait a whole week for the next episode.

In episode 2 we hear the song “When Will I See You Again” twice. It is sung by the Three Degrees, which happens to be the title of the episode: 3 Degrees!

Great review! Well said without spoilers

[astromansculptures]

This serie is full of errors. Simple things that could be fixed if the directors did some research before making this serie.
- An airplane gets no clearance for takeoff if it has to taxi first. "You are cleared for departure runway 30 right " while it still hangs on the passenger bridge.
-A simple way to let ATC know that the airplane is hijacked is not 3 degrees deviation... there are standard rules for that. This sounds like a joke.
-The transponder of an airplane identifies the plane with heading, callsign and altitude. If I pilot sets the transponder code to 7500, ATC will know the airplane is hijacked. So 7500 is the international code for a hijack. In episode 2 the pilot calls on the radio "we are sqaking 4625", he could easily say "sqaking 7500" and the fighter jets would be in the air.
These are simple straight forward things that would make the series more realistic.

Honestly, the fact that we dont know why they hijacked it is fine by me! Just adds to the mistery. 

My 2 cents >I think this is not your average terrorist plot - all the baddies we've seen are 99% caucasian and speak British English, including the cleaners, and just too well organized!! False flag op maybe?

Also I feel there are more hijackers, or at least 1 more that is not revealed. This is based on the conversation the 2 hijackers had in the beginning with one of them waiting to hear from the back. My $$$ is on the guy that was late ... he was too comfortable when he yelled at the hijacker to cease rough handling the passenger...

This is one great show with Idris Elba's character kinda being like a puppetmaster honestly, with the baddies on strings without realizing it!

PS: If the baddies are environmentalists I will be dissapointted. They could have just thrown a can of soup at the airplane and be done with it!

Alice the air traffic controller was the best character and actor in my opinion
