I thought this would be a really good series, but right from the first episode I could see how terrible it was going to be. I usually like these kinds of shows that are often based on real events, but this one let me down so badly.
I've seen a lot of Hispanic shows and this one pales in comparison to almost all of them.
The characters written are terrible and I have no sympathy for Edlima in particular. White colored first but then she became this judgmental holier than thou idiot who resorted to blaming the captain for her own failures.
The only character I liked was Barbara. I thought she was well written and well executed by the actress.
The whole backstory of the hijackers was a good idea in terms of morality and suffering, but the execution was terrible. It felt forced and coercive almost unnatural. It felt as if they are trying to make this into a gray story just for the sake of drama. The end credits would say that this is based on a real story, but things have been added for drama is really the red flag.
I mean at least make the drama believable. The terrorists seem like a bunch of children and are not scary at all. The first time flight attendant was really so annoying- I understand and sympathize that it was the first time but she did not improve at all throughout the show. I mean at some point your survivor instinct has to kick in right? Comes back to my point of the characters and the writing being not realistic.
Furthermore, the whole thing was totally unengaging and listless and felt like every episode was just dragging on for no reason. Somehow I managed to finish the series. Hoping that every episode brought something good but nothing happened. I wish I hadn't wasted my time.
