I powered through all 7 episodes. A miniseries I would call it.
It's good.
The story offers surprises to the last episode. During episodes 4-5-6 the story itself (not the events) starts to get flat (it's just oh the airliner got hijacked), then at the end of episode 6 they manage to shake it up, and in ep. 7 they add more, and also start to give the explanations. Not too exciting but all right.
The events on screen are engaging, they keep the tension just enough.
It was also interesting to see how they solved the flight over Hungary. Hearing them speaking and the glimpses at the cast playing the Hungarian ground crew and others. I think for an Anglo product this part is as good as it gets.
Now as for the main hero, that he is a professional negotiator, it doesn't much comes into play. He mentions it, but how it is written and acted it's not convincing. It's not in the focus how he brilliantly manipulates with various negotiating tactics. He could very well have some other job or talent.
One word like hundred, it was worth a watch.
