Departure

No reason for bad reviews. It's just an entertaining crime thriller with some twists and turns. Doesn't matter about cliches. Not looking for a emmy here, just a storyline that keeps my attention. Mission accomplished.

After reading the dreadful user reviews I felt compelled to write mine which is more favourable. Yes a bit formulaic, but a rather good cast of actors, and twisting storyline on who was responsible for the plane downing. It worth a watch, it you enjoy thrillers and conspiracy story lines. Budget and filming is not bad too

Complete garbage and a waste of time. Amateur story, acting and sets. So boring. Can't believe this was filmed 2019. Maybe it was filmed in the '50s

Personally, I found the music intrusive in the movie. There really is no need to play music over dialogue.

British Global Air Flight 716 leaves JFK and disappears somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. There are 256 on board. In London, aviation expert Kendra Malley (Archie Panjabi) is recruited by her former boss Howard Lawson (Christopher Plummer) to join the investigation. The team has to navigate conflicting motives, multiple suspects, and desperate people with fading hopes of finding survivors. Then one survivor is found.

It's an intriguing mystery premise but the show slowly runs out of steam. I'm not sure that the writing is up to the challenge. It does have some great actors including the legendary Christopher Plummer who dies after filming the second season. That may provide a sad excuse to end this series. Rest in Peace for a beautiful thespian.
