Halfway through this one on Apple TV, It's a high-quality production where a plane is highjacked from Dubai to London and a corporate negotiator is the central figure in this 7-part series; basically a one-hour episode for each hour of the flight. I like Elba, he's a strong presence in whatever role he plays, still trying to convince myself this is entertainment and the situation is at all plausible. Definitely a UK production with the over-represented cast in various roles and situations, and every passenger is an archetype.

We watched it. I found the pace rather glacial, but the story was good. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from watching, nor would I give it 5 stars. Elba is usually good and I would say, it’s definitely worth checking out and deciding for yourself.

OK, not bad. I wouldn't say it was a waste of 7-hrs of view time, as it was largely entertaining, it's more drama than action since the pacing is tied with the time of flight. There was a number of nits I could pick and implausibilities but, it's worth a watch. Without spoiling it, the CGI of the final episode was...the way they'd shot the entire show, I was expecting something a bit more, detailed.
