Fortunately we are all different. What one person likes or dislikes is not going to affect my opinion. Like any other film you should make your own mind up. Having said all that, here is my view on this film. I have always been a big fan of Idris Elba. Like most actors he will make films that won't suit everyone. After watching this I was left feeling like he was going down the path many have trodden before where a big name stars to draw people to see it, like Bruce Willis has done for example. For me this is the worst film I have ever seen him in. The story is so contrived. The decisions the characters make in the film are predictable and laughable. So sorry it's a no from me Idris you can do better and indeed have since this was filmed. A little discernment required I think.
Show is good but I've never heard a narrator as bad as this. I'm sure he must be told to narrate like this but it's that bad it puts me off watching. He speaks four or five words at a time, I can only think for dramatic effect but it doesn't work. Glad I don't have to listen to him reading war and peace on audible as it would take years to finish! This is the first episode I have watched and it might be the last, which is crazy ! As for the show,itself it's pretty much like similar shows and shows the skill and bravery of the recovery crews on our roads all over the world. To sum up, get a new narrator or get the existing one to change his style .
