Into the Night

Great thriller that keeps you on the edge for three and a bit hours. Acting is good but what makes this series intersting is the diversity of its characters and the nuances of their attitudes in the face of crises and tragedy. Morals are given a swirl, whirl and a whirlpool to change colours according to necessities fpr when lives are at risk, crimes have no consequence.

Within the first 10 minutes I had deja vus. Airplane running away from an unseen danger.

I swear these characters' mindsets radiate the same energy as Rise of the planet of the apes. They're like children you just can't like any of them I would kill myself if i was on that plane apocalypse is much better. Could've been 10/10.

Are there plot holes, yes. Can a helicopter pilot fly a commercial airline, no. Can a home health care aide perform surgery, of course not. Is it enjoyable to watch and am I engaged and care about the characters? Yes. This is not for the "Must be 100% accurate, or it's trash"! critics viewing from Mom's basement. Suspend your disbelief and just enjoy a nice Friday/Saturday night on the couch movie. The episodes fly by because I'm entertained (and they're short- 38 minutes-ish) and I have no desire to multi-task with a phone game or whatnot.

Full disclosure, I watched in French because I can speak French (it's not entirely in French though) and subtitles don't bother me. I don't know how the English dub sounds, but that always destroys a movie for me when the audio isn't matching the actor's lips. Plus, the dubbed script never quite matches the real nuances of what's really being said.

Season 1 was strong! There was mystery, action and it keept the audience engaging.

Then Season 2 came and the expectations remained high, only to crash to the grounds. The second season does supply the viewers with even a tiny bit more understanding of the general story, the characters once intriguing and entertaining - are now reduced to half-brained children. They just keep and keep on fighting with each other, nobody get's along, no progress whatsever.

It's a shame since I really liked the series, but I can not lie - I doubt how the producers are going to save this mess.
