Departure

Wooden acting ,terrible sets and a predictable storyline.Watch this at your own peril.

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

Season 1 is Brit and is good especially if you are planning to bingewatch. Its right up there with "Vigil"( like 80%). Has the typical trademarks of british mysteries with a clue or matching puzzle/ distraction unveiled at the end of each episode

Season 2 unfortunately is very poor. No offense, It's American but like one of those fluffy cliched mystery shows. It's very formulaic

If Season 1 is traveling First class, Than Season 2 is economy that too on a budget airline.

Just like a Jigsaw Puzzle that is highlighted on a table the solution for determining the reason for a flight from NYC to London crashing into the ocean is like a puzzle. I think the story and the acting so far through two episodes has been stellar. Sorry to those who like formula tv programs in which the mystery is conveniently solved in the last 5 minutes. I find those programs so predictable that they are extremely boring. Peacock original programing has been high quality when there is such abysmal programing on traditional, commercial tv. And, there are no commercials - a definite perk.

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