This has been a really entertaining show. It does keep you on the DVR of your seat but the last episode did get a little annoying.

- Nobody went to help Elba’s character during the fight even though the whole plane was primed and ready? Nobody going for the gun?

- That might’ve been the worst tailing of a suspect in the history of TV/Movies. Edgar tells them to not to follow him, so they send three cars at full speed to trail the guy?

- There was zero suspense when they closed in on the plane on the runway because that same twist has been done a million times.

It’s still a pretty good show but I agree that it should’ve been 1-2 episodes shorter.

Binged the whole series the last 2 nights.

The first 3-4 episodes were awesome, but like most have said, it kind of limped home.

Of all the diversions from reality- my favorite had to be how Elba basically had free reign all over the plane. Seemed like every episode had 30 minutes of hijackers making empty threats to every passenger, but yet Elba could get up and walk around and negotiate with everyone.

I enjoyed the series, and basically anything Elba does. This would have been a great 3-4 episode series.

The episode the two prisoners were release had a long story already done in another show. They drive away and are followed by the police and get stopped at a railroad overpass. This after they had told the police to stop following them and like in the show, they passed by going out in the fields. Once in a wooded area they switch cars and the other set in the 2nd care drive away in the first car.

The prisoners leave in the second vehicle later. Just like in Hijack.

The other show was a British production also.
