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!

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.

The tranche of reviews so far are far too critical and some don't seem to have even taken the time to watch it to the end.

This production is great. The cast is great. The acting is great and the pacing is great. There are very few superfluous subplots which is terrific.

Yes, it requires significant suspension of disbelief and procedurally this isn't how the real world really works but it's good pulpy fun and the story is about its characters.

Much preferred this take of 'hijinks on a plane' than last year's 'Hijack' which died a death halfway through and didn't deserve a second season (in my opinion).

Giving it an 8 instead of a 7 to offset its review bombing by those easily triggered or absurdly critical. Remember it's a only piece of fiction, not a political statement. Enjoyable from start to finish in my book!

A lot of reviews here keep saying so many aspects of this show are far fetched. Frankly the only thing unbelievable here is Jess Li's bangs :)

Jokes aside, it has a nice combo of action, politics, drama and thrills despite the various plot holes. If you watch it with the sole goal of being entertained, you won't be disappointed.

Giving this a 7/10 because the finale felt a bit rushed trying to close too many loose ends without providing enough closure in some instances (hospital scene for example). Doesn't seem like its second season material but certainly not the last red eye I'm going to experience.

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.
