Red Eye

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.

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.

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!

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!

It would be easy to criticize this series - more holes in it than a Swiss cheese - but I'd rather stress the entertainment value. This is a fast-paced, well-acted, well-directed, great piece of entertainment with (at times) mesmerising screenplay and all the tension and panache of Alistair MacLean's heroes or James Bond's adventures.

Many movie-goers and TV drama afficionados will appreciate the quality behind this production and forgive just how believable the storyline is (or isn't!) - but it's dealing with potentially really worrying contemporary issues, and the aircraft scenes (in particular) are right up there with the best. The political machinations are pretty good too!

Worth it.
