Not that it would’ve mattered, but the hijackers mom is either the fastest speed walker, or Idris’ ex-wife’s new man is the slowest runner of all time

How in the fvck does his dumbass not catch her?



my girlfriend said the exact same thing. She said that she looked like a possum escaping into the tree line.

They certainly don’t look like hijacker’s on previous movies/tv. They look a bit soft

It appears, based on the emerging storyline, that is by design.

I’m now three episodes in and really liking it a lot. I’ve watched two today alone.

Need to slow down and try to space out the next three to last until Wednesday. But I suspect I’ll knock them out by tomorrow.


ETA: shite, just realized there are still two more to air, not just one. So I’ll have to wait for this week AND then again next week.

Yeah the hijackers don’t appear to be the pros in this scenario, it’s who ever is controlling them.

I actually have a little sympathy for most of them. Just not that one girl. She’s been unnecessarily hostile the whole time lol.

I’m also torn on my feelings for the pilot. This is all kinda his fault and the way he beat the hell out of his copilot was hard to forget. He’s trying to help though.

I’ve enjoyed this more than I expected. Expected it to be a slog since they dragged what could’ve been the premise of a movie over 6 or 7 episodes, however long the seasons supposed to be, but it’s been entertaining throughout.

theyre definitely not like any terrorists from any documentaries I’ve seen about hijackers. Those people typically have zero regard for human life which is not the case with the British hijackers in this show. Their overlords on the other hand have been described as very hostile and relentless. Wonder if we learn anything from the crew sent to kill Sam’s son. Predicting the next episode I know he’ll escape but what curious what he’ll learn about the cheapside firm before he does

Not sure why you're getting downvoted. If I had watched Silo week to week, I would have probably tapped out. Loved it as a binge.

Finally caught up last night. Still enjoying it.

The female hijacker is my only complaint. Something about her bothers me, might be the over the top tough act or way she always holds the gun. Haha.

Outside of that, I'm enjoying this. At first I thought a series was going to drag out but they have done it well. Idris is great as always.

I know I am alone but wife(no pics) and I are on Episode 3 and I find it sort of insulting my intelligence and I don’t consider myself very intelligent.
That’s why I am hanging out on TD rather than watch this.

The hijackers aren't supposed to be experts here. Their operation isn't supposed to be top notch or anything. They are pawns.

This is why I don't like the binge. The waiting is nice and I find I remember much more about the show than during a binge. Binges just all run together and then it's over and I don't remember all the details.

Not sure if Spoilers:


I'm enjoying the show enough as thoughtless entertainment but I'm having some trouble with a few things. I understand the hijackers are pawns but the government response, or lack there of, feels completely unrealistic. Europe is allowing a hijacked airplane to fly through their airways w/out military escort? The different country's ATC don't communicate w/each other? The airline company wasn't involved when the pilot was unresponsive for an extended period.

The government response is making this feel trivial. IMO

Unreal. I'm anticipating the sub 5 foot girl boss to knock him out.
