Well worth watching This was a really enjoyable series which I binge watched! Of course there are parts in it where you think "no way"
but suspend logic and it's good! Idris Elba, as you would expect, is excellent in it but I was still trying to decide at the end if his character, Sam, actually made the situation worse sometimes. The fact that it is in real time did help build the tension and there were many times I was on the edge of my seat - especially the last episode.
Of course it's easy to say the air controllers wouldn't do that- the government wouldn't do that, children wouldn't behave that well, etc etc but why spoil a good yarn.
