Red Eye

Yes, it's mind-numbingly dumb. Yes, it's more cliche than a leprechaun's pint of Guinness. Yes, it's got more holes than a pair of socks from the 1970s, but if you're looking to veg out with a few beers and a slice of pizza (or two) after a hard week of grafting, it does the job very well.

If you're looking for something deep and meaningful, thought-provoking, or intellectually challenging, give this a miss. If you're after a bit of fluff with twists, turns, and hooks that your pet Labrador would be able to comprehend, dive in!

Disengage your brain, put your feet up, tuck in, and relax. Fast-food drama when you can't be arsed to think beyond the opening credits-just what I needed!

I don't usually review a Series when I have only seen one episode but I have seen some silly comments from other viewers, which prompted me to add more favourable ones.

A thriller of this type does require the viewer to suspend disbelief, and this one is no different. Richard Armitage is most at home in this genre, and I did wonder how he would fare in the more claustrophobic atmosphere of a plane, but so far he has managed a chase through an airport and dealt with a cardiac arrest, so I see my misgivings were misplaced.

The rest of the cast provides good support, particularly Lesley Sharp. The series' pace ensures that the viewer is engaged at all times, and production values, cinematography and story are all quite interesting.

I am looking forward to the rest of this high octane thriller.

Not the same star power as Hijack but I enjoyed it at least as much. The show is significantly different to the film so don't worry about repetition.

Its pacey although it often involves the main characters running in circles avoiding the most obvious conclusions and decisions.

The lead actress is mostly likable except for some unnecessary jibes at the beginning however that helps the character move from icy and rude to someone we can cheer for by the end. I'm more familiar with Richard Armitage and felt his character was a bit too 'conservative stiff'.

Yes there are some OTT moments but nothing absurd and overall a reasonable wet weekend binge :)

Well, what can I say? I indulged in a marathon session, watching all six episodes back-to-back, and I was utterly captivated from start to finish. This fast-paced action thriller delivers an intriguing plot that keeps you hooked throughout. The storyline moves swiftly, filled with riveting moments that leave you eager for more. The cast is exceptional, each actor bringing depth and authenticity to their characters. As the series unfolds, you find yourself becoming increasingly fond of the characters, invested in their journeys, and eagerly anticipating what will happen next.

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Peter A. Dowling and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

This series is surprisingly enjoyable, offering a light, entertaining experience that's easy to digest. While the storyline leans on familiar, somewhat cliché tropes, it throws in a few clever twists that keep things engaging. It may not be the kind of show that leaves you desperate for another season or keeps you up all night, but it's undeniably fun. The pacing is smooth, and the plot is straightforward, making it perfect for casual viewing.

Overall, it's a solid one-season watch that delivers enough excitement without demanding too much investment. The cast may not feature any big-name stars, but it includes some familiar British actors who deliver solid performances, bringing charm and likability to their roles. The characters are friendly and well-developed. While people do die in the show, it's not overly violent or gory, keeping things relatively light. It's the perfect simple watch for a relaxed weekend, offering enough excitement without demanding too much focus. All in all, this is a fun, breezy series that provides plenty of enjoyment without overwhelming viewers.
