It's very easy to write off a replacement - you like an original presenter etc, and this can be wholly unfair - people are different, and sometimes that's ok. But...
Not in this case! While OTT and silly, Adam was genuinely funny, quick witted, and knew his stuff.
It's all well and good being amusing, but to also know a thing or two about your subject just elevates the premise of the show.
I have tried and tried with Casey, but he just shouts, has zero knowledge, leaves pauses like he's caught in the headlights, and just isn't funny.
Some great eateries, some amazing chefs. But a real step down in presentation. And ultimately the subject makes you want to watch, but the host just pull you in. No longer, sadly.

I'm not going to go into any detail regards the background/story - the IMDb description says it all.
What sets this apart from other TV movies is it pulls no punches and lacks any kind of sugary/feel good factor - it shows an emotional side to a tragedy, where, by all accounts there is no positive outcome...
The performances are great, particularly Hugh Thompson.
And if the scene where the two leads head out to the crash site doesn't bring a tear (or in my case quite a few...) to your eyes, I'll be very surprised. Excellent and heartbreaking moment.
It's not going to change your life, it's not Oscar worthy filmography - but it will kill a couple of hours: invest your concentration and emotions in it and you'll be drawn in and entertained.

First, let me say that the acting is of an incredibly high degree, but I can't for the life of me understand the other reviews.
I don't find it edgy, overly-compelling or even that well written, there are plot holes everywhere. So much is written that is convenient - I've just not found it anything like I expected (from other reviews here).
I like everything from The West Wing to NCIS, and it could have been something in-between - but it lacks the intelligence of the former, and the entertainment of the latter.
Shame. But as a series it is watchable, even if - like me - it's from a comfy position, and not at the edge of ones seat.....
