O Sequestro do Voo 601

The series start very well, about the real story how the plane was hijacked in the 70s in South America. Then comes episode 4 and story rhythm is broken and series is actually divided into two parts. The 4th episode about how these crazy sort of revolutionaries are made is really unnecessary because it tells the banality that our past puts impact on our future. And this banality actually dooms the following episodes. Suddenly it's hard to understand motives of hijackers and crew actions and the ending of the series is very weird. I am also tired of modern concept about stupid cowardly men and brave heroic women. Another example how to ruin a potentially good series.

It is a shame most of the feeling and acting of the scenes gets lost amidst a poor translation. Netflix should Hire people who really know how to translate, watching this show close captioned in English was painful. I know Colombians swear a lot but more than half of the time idioms and bad words were omitted,or, swapped for things that made less sense than if they made a better effort trying to be more accurate translating. Definitely saving English speaking people from reading a little bit more but also denying them from learning all cool sayings and jokes depicted during the developing of the series. It gives a clear look of Colombian inherent creativity to express ourselves in a very characteristic way.

"Flight 601" takes viewers on a turbulent journey through the harrowing events of a real-life hijacking, offering a glimpse into the chaos and uncertainty faced by those onboard. While the premise holds promise, the film's execution often veers into the realm of incredulity, leaving audiences questioning the veracity of certain events depicted on screen. This ambiguity between fact and fiction can be both intriguing and frustrating, as viewers grapple with discerning what is true and what is embellished for dramatic effect.

The film's strength lies in its ability to capture the tension and fear experienced by the passengers and crew during the hijacking. The claustrophobic atmosphere aboard the aircraft, combined with the constant threat of violence from the hijackers, keeps viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. However, these intense moments are often undercut by implausible plot developments or unrealistic character actions, detracting from the overall impact of the story.

Despite its flaws, "Flight 601" does offer some compelling performances from its cast, particularly in portraying the resilience and courage of those caught up in the crisis. The emotional depth conveyed by the actors helps to humanize the otherwise chaotic and surreal events unfolding on screen, drawing viewers further into the narrative.

Ultimately, "Flight 601" is a film that requires a certain level of commitment from its audience. While its basis in true events may initially lend it credibility, the liberties taken with the source material may leave some viewers feeling frustrated or misled. Nevertheless, for those willing to overlook its shortcomings, "Flight 601" offers a gripping if somewhat uneven cinematic experience.

I wasn't gonna review this series but there are so many moronic reviews that I just had to review it. It is not a comedy and the music is not cartoonish. Obviously those words were written by some white guy who doesn't understand the culture. The music was beautiful and fitting being that the series is from South America not the USA. The story was compelling and heartfelt. I didn't feel like the series dragged at all, it told the story as it happened with some added dramatization. It combines some funny moments with the seriousness of the situation and it does have its heart wrenching moments, all good series do. Maybe it didn't deserve a 10 but it was given to counter some low scores. Definitely recommend this series, I binged it in one day. Worth the watch.

This drama started really well only for it to fissile out at episode 4 when the focus of the episode was on the Hi-jackers themselves. So here we have a drama of a dramatic real life hi-jacking of a plane in the early 70's the mistake of this drama was the story order as the focus of episode 4 should have been at the start i.e episode 1. To shovel in the back story halfway through the series considering you are telling a real life event only leads to confusion and disengagement on the viewer. So with Ep 4 out of the way the story gets back on track somewhat but seems by episode 6 it has become too over dramatic and too much poetic license has been used, the over use of swearing too (and I don't mind bad language) was not necessary I would have scored this higher if it was shorter as the acting was very good. .
