Into the Night

Great thriller that keeps you on the edge for three and a bit hours. Acting is good but what makes this series intersting is the diversity of its characters and the nuances of their attitudes in the face of crises and tragedy. Morals are given a swirl, whirl and a whirlpool to change colours according to necessities fpr when lives are at risk, crimes have no consequence.

For so far it goes about the premise, the origin of the disaster; there are much less believable used in other movies or series.

Basically you have a group of people stuck together by accident trying to survive with a clear time restriction going on.

Yes, some things are probably not very realistic but hé, this is an action-suspens movie/series, not a documentary. And many, many series do it much worse on that front.

I do not really have a problem with that acting. Some persons behave a bit to caricatured. But overal it is entertaining.

Season 1 was strong! There was mystery, action and it keept the audience engaging.

Then Season 2 came and the expectations remained high, only to crash to the grounds. The second season does supply the viewers with even a tiny bit more understanding of the general story, the characters once intriguing and entertaining - are now reduced to half-brained children. They just keep and keep on fighting with each other, nobody get's along, no progress whatsever.

It's a shame since I really liked the series, but I can not lie - I doubt how the producers are going to save this mess.

It's not perfect by any stretch but the short 6 episode season combined with 30-40 min runtimes will more than effectively take up an afternoon without making you feel like you've wasted your time. The pace is good and fast which tells the story which is interesting enough to to keep you drawn in. The acting is good and well cast and there's just enough character development to get you interested enough in them to care about them. You will have to ignore some plot holes, small inconsistencies and scientific accuracy, but hey, it's a sci fi show after all, right?

*edit season 2 has lost much of the steam that season 1 built up on. It's still watchable but I can't pretend to not be disappointed - I'm really not sure where they're going with this and season 3 will have its work cut out..

I swear these characters' mindsets radiate the same energy as Rise of the planet of the apes. They're like children you just can't like any of them I would kill myself if i was on that plane apocalypse is much better. Could've been 10/10.
