Anyone watching? A bit far-fetched but watchable so far. Wish it wasn't six episodes though.

I saw the first episode last night, and thought it was promising.

We watched and quite enjoyed it and would agree it was far - fetched but at least we could follow the story line and the diction was clear.

Provided you put the words implausible and is it legal to the back of your mind it is watchable. There was a fair bit of action and the diction was good.

I enjoyed it. Plenty going on.

Richard Armitage!

Redeye, We watched 3 episodes last night. & found it enjoyable but also a tad implausible in parts . Especially the border control policing . Intrigued to see if the main protagonist is actually who he says he is 🤔
Put me in mind of the Idris Elba Film set on a plane , though the name has escaped my memory.

I enjoyed the first episode hoping it carries on similarly.

NanaTuesday that would be Hijack. I keep meaning to watch it.

We watched the first episode last evening but I can't make my mind up to be honest - maybe the next episode might draw me in or convince me that it is not really for me. Might have to watch it on ITVX seeing as rain stopped play.

I’m enjoying it on a wet Monday afternoon when I’m not feeling well and will now watch episode 2.

Knittynatter Mon 22-Apr-24 19:12:36

I’m on episode 4 and loving it! After the disappointment of the recent Channel 5 dramas, it is outstanding!

cornergran Mon 22-Apr-24 19:51:46

We’ve watched two and enjoyed them. Rare for us both to enjoy the same programme. Yes, implausible at times, also predictable at times but still an enjoyable watch.

Totally implausible (the killer is on the plane - why are they not looking at ALL of the passengers?) but I'm enjoying it.

Parsley3 Tue 23-Apr-24 09:22:41

Binge watched this yesterday. Not bad at all.

ExDancer Tue 23-Apr-24 09:28:30

I thought we'd only had one episode?

Parsley3 Tue 23-Apr-24 09:30:41

It's on iplayer.

Sparklefizz Tue 23-Apr-24 10:57:08

It's on ITVx not iPlayer.

Lovetopaint037 Tue 23-Apr-24 11:40:23

Watched the second episode on ITVX and would like to have seen more but got too late. So will continue tonight. Of course it beggars belief but enjoying it.

Started watching downstairs… went to bed and binge watched till about 03:30…Mr H couldn’t keep his eyes open, so watched the last episode with Mr H bringing coffee back to bed before getting up 😁

Lookout01 Wed 24-Apr-24 12:25:05

Watched the first five over two nights, fell asleep at end of fifth last night so will watch final one later today. Enjoying it but like you say, far fetched in parts, good acting, just hoping for decent ending now

Sparklefizz Wed 24-Apr-24 14:32:37

Agree it’s far fetched but some good twists!

sweetcakes Wed 24-Apr-24 14:48:14

I enjoyed it very much and yes a bit far fetched but if it didn't any flesh on the bones it would be a tad boring.

Wedi Wed 24-Apr-24 16:51:29

Implausible, far fetched etc etc but entertaining. Not everything has to be realistic to be watchable . Completed the whole thing on ITX - watching into the early hours of the morning.

annifrance Wed 24-Apr-24 18:34:38

Mildly entertaining. Not over inspired. Very mediocre and formulaic. It's on Netflix

NanKate Wed 24-Apr-24 20:09:33

Thoroughly enjoying it. About to watch episode 6. Binge watching 😀
