O Sequestro do Voo 601

I really enjoyed watching this series. On the one hand it's a drama but it also has moments of comedy and lots of humanity as well. And the story it's based on is fascinating as well. There are multiple stories about the different characters entwined and the characters are mostly likeable and relatable. The acting is pretty good. I watch a lot of Spanish movies and series to practice my Spanish and this is one that I really enjoyed. I think the script writers did a good job of taking the original story and turning it into a series that kept your attention until the end. I recommend it but your mileage may vary.

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.

I just finished episode 4 of the series, moving to 5th. I was really curious what people think of this episode and jumped on here for a bit.

I see a lot of reviews saying episode 4 was not necessary and it just broke the whole rhythm of the serial. I must say I STRONGLY disagree, it gave us an insight on how these guys became like this and why do they do it. I'm sure if the series didn't have this kind of episode, all the reviews would be about "no info on their background? Why do they actually do this?". Anyhow, you can pretty much anticipate from the beginning that they aren't 100% bad guys, they're just "hungry and have nothing to lose".

Overall, great series so far! Kept me really glued to the screen.

I usually do not like two aspects of this kind of shows...

First, real life events. Second, Colombian series. However, this show has so much to say. I loved this sbow. It was engaging from beggining to end.

The show follows Edilma, Barbara, the pilots and the hijackers. This show give us everything we need. The drama, the action, the tension. I have never felt so much tension like I did in episodes 2 and 3. Then after episode 4, it becomes a show about injustice. This show has so much to say, and of course it is dramatic. That's the whole latin essence.

I would recommend everyone to look for herself this show. It gives you a look into how hard it is the latin american culture. Some people jus have to work so much harder than other to survive.

"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.
