    I was ok with the ending. It kept the human aspect pulsing along. This was both the show's strength and weakness. Weakness because in better hands it would have hit us more.

    That was a pretty poor last episode I thought, but hey at least it was an ending it tied everyone's ending pretty much.

    The Max Beasley character (who was a total clown throughout!) At least managed to redeem himself in the last episode.

    Archie Panjabi underused.

    I am guessing there won't be a second season, and it would seem stupid...but then again it seemed to be a hit...so who knows.

    They could I am guess focus on one of the two guys they released.

    I wouldn't rule it out...as you say seemed to be a big hit for Apple+

    Archie Panjabi has another series called Departure, season one focussed on a plane crash...season two a train...and errr season three a boat....lol

    That was good I enjoyed that ending but ye some plot holes like if the

    plane is out of fuel how come when it crashes the engines are still spinning lol and explosions even do there is no fuel lol. There would be no explosions but otherwise it was good and I am glad the two fake cleaners got caught too.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Just started watching that. It's so bad. Windsor aeronatics lol. As if the Chinese or the Saudis for that matter would buy airlines from on unknown company made in the UK when there is proven and reliable makes like Airbus and Boeing who have being doing it for decades and the Chinese even have there own airline manufacturer. Sure wasn't there talk a while back of Ryanair buying planes from them.

    Anyway ye the show is so bad it's funny. Does it get any better? I knew straight away the Captain was not to be trusted.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Nothing in the finale really made sense to me at all. I would have preferred if they just flew the plane into the Shard or something and season 2 was dealing with the aftermath.

    Fun season. I enjoyed it. I'll leave it there tho.

    It is watchable ha. I preferred season 2 over season 1, season 3 only watched the first one but has potential.

    Just finished this tonight.

    Entertainment wise it's decent, but it's really a leave-your-brain-at-the-door type thriller as there are a lot of plot conveniences that are totally unrealistic. The hijackers drift from being criminal masterminds to genuine dopes from scene to scene.

    Looks like the opinion on the finale was unanimous. Came to say that we finished this last week and thouroughly enjoyed the first 6 episodes. Really good, well acted, tense show.... that all became a bit silly at the final hurdle. So many wtf moments in the finale it felt like the makers just sort of stopped trying and had characters do things or make decisions to get to the end. Still satisfying enough end to an otherwise very well put together show. I have to admit though, I think they overplayed Sam's career as a "negotiator" as some sort of vital skill that makes him the only person to save the day. It does leave me wondering though if "negotiator" is some sort of cover or if he's a different kind of negotiator. There were a couple of flashes of being able to handle himself with a gun in his face. Could be a line they go down if it gets a second season.

    Started well but went downhill fast.

    Have had the last episode hanging around for a few weeks, and haven't felt the need to finish it. Shame!

    Gave up on this quickly, Elba is at the level of an Eastenders/Corrie actor. Stick to the Sky ads.

    lol! They really should have just left it as a one season wonder. I hope they release season 2 as a summer show. I don’t mind fact like this in the sinner months but I’d be much more critical during the winter months
