I'm 2 episodes in and I'm really enjoying the show.
I had low expectations... the TV Networks and Streamers are churning these thriller drama series out at such a rate that they are getting progressively worse and I expected In Flight to be no exception.
But I was shocked when the story grabbed me quite quickly. The opening scenes are a little disjointed as the story jumps through different timelines (a pet hate of mine and so common on shows at the moment) but that only lasts for a couple of minutes. This story is t a slow burn, you get into the action quickly and by the end of the first episode you know exactly what you're in for.
Even early in, you can see some of the minor characters being set up to play a bigger part later in the story. I'm intrigued to see where it goes.
One of the things that I'm enjoying is that it isn't TOO complex. So many of these thrillers now demand 100% of your attention and dialogue is traded in for visual storytelling, which means it's common to lose some of the story, but In Glight makes the story really easy to follow, there's no 4D chess to work out what's happening and the cast is quite small so you get to now all of the characters quite quickly.
Some of the other reviews have been quite harsh and I think it's unfair.
It's gripping but easily watchable and it isn't trying to be a Hollywood Blockbuster, it's trying to be a TV crime thriller... which it does very well.
