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.

Within the first 10 minutes I had deja vus. Airplane running away from an unseen danger.

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..

Season 1 was intense good with some annoying illogical moral pontification. Season 2 just got absurd with way too much drama and conflicts. Seems many has a death wish screaming for all to end. It's ridiculous to create so much nonsensical conflict when it's possibly the end if the world. Exhausting to rationalize why so many idiots and morons are running the plot. I literally fast forwarded most of Season 2 to shorten my angst for getting through each episode.
