Thanks for tuning into the channel for breakdowns of the show every week! 😃There's been some great conversation about the show. But I suppose, the most important question is this one. What did you think of the finale? Comment your thoughts below!
I was satisfied with the series. Mostly because of Idris. But I agree. Sam's Son was a Dumbass for coming out of the room, WTF was he thinking, he knew there was more than 1 guy. Also, the final conflict felt extremely forced (Like they just needed some excuse for drama) but nothing about how those two guys interacted prior would justify that final scene. But Meh, it was only a couple minutes at the end. Overall, it was a cool 7 Hour Movie.
Literally just finished it….. I genuinely loved this series, it was so intense. I’ll admit, the ending left a little bit to be desired for me, but they did tie up most loose ends and I’m disappointed it’s over already
@@IamLegend573 I fully recommend this series, I’ve really enjoyed it. I think all the scenes were done very well and they did a great job of keeping everything very suspenseful but also kept the scenes realistic. Definitely worth a watch
Bit of a silly ending - there is absolutely no way that they would let the plane fly over central London, they would have shot down the engines to crash over open water - 200 passengers vs potentially thousands in central London (including the passengers). Also Kai would have been killed instantly, they didn’t need him as a hostage - it’s not like they let Sam know that they had him.
In which episode did the guys on the plane tell the guys on the ground about Sam? I totally missed that and couldn’t work out how they knew about him and where he lived etc 🤷🏻♀️
@@Alltheredroses quite early on, they sent a picture of his passport to the ground - although they said this was because he was a "problem passenger" but then they continued to engage with him rather than tie him up like the other two. They didn't really make a point of it once they had done it though. I just really wish in the end they should have cut back to Sam taking a call and simply asking "how much did we make?" showing he was in change of the whole thing all the way though.
I will have to admit I started crying arising from the strong emotions, and attachment pain, and felt the fear the passengers were in, massive applause to idris elba
I admit I was almost in tears as well, and I would have cried if the plane crashed with everyone on it. I like the brainpower, twist and turns for such an intense show! This would work vey well as a video game similar to Tale Tale games, Supermassive, and Quantic Dreams with all the decision making.
This is the best mini series of the year so far!!! It's ridiculous how the criminals went out of their way to hijack a plane and break out of jail just to end up dead at the end. lol There is really no honor among thieves. And Sam was lowkey getting on my nerves. He should of just got off the airplane because he almost lost his life over a gift... smh plus his wife literally moved on. The finale was stressful but great.
This show was great all the way! I love how the show is more grounded, and not everyone is Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible, or Jack Bauer from 24! Just regular people using their brains to survive a dangerous situation. the brainpower of regular people, and the intense moment to moment hijacking situation is the highlight for me! 9/10 I will give this show.
@@TangoNevada they would have to invest in the stock market and run away with more money 💰 the more damage to the plane ✈️ to the point of it crashing. I wouldn’t say Terrorist more like an organized crime from the mafia.
@@TangoNevada o ok but either way both bad guys Terrorist and Mafia groups types could still do a ton of damage like this. And these same organized criminals could be doing business deals with Terrorist groups suppling drugs and weapons which actually happens now! Like what the Cartel is doing at the border for example.
The show was nice, but had more plot holes than a Swiss cheese. And they got so many things wrong about the plane - not enough fuel for the flight (airplanes should have at least fuel for an alternative airport + 45 minutes flight), the fact that the plane just died when fuel ran out (there are batteries!), the landing gear thing is just ridiculous, and the explosions are kinda impossible if there was no fuel. The show is entertaining, for sure, but it could have been so much better
Yeah - I think this. If not then it at least gives the writers the chance at at least 2 more seasons.. one for history/context & one for the aftermath of the event... this was Sam's biggest deal ever..
Thanks - glad you enjoyed the video! That's fair. Always going to be difficult to finish a show where the stakes were always so high! I think if they lost everything that was going on with Kai then they would have had more room
I felt that ending when the plane was landing. I needed a moment to recover and I wasn't even on it. Thank you BrainPilot for all your work I enjoyed the ride every week.
Yep, Idris is THE Man. Why can't they find a longer running series (other than Luther) for him. Each week he held our attention, more than anyone else. I still contend that the ending fell flat. Did they run out of money? Did the writers strike happen, and the writers stop writing? We needed at least two more episodes to at least wrap up the Biggest Loose thread: re-capturing the (surviving) gang Leader, who was let out of prison, killed his partner, and escaped with a huge amount of money.
The older brother hijacker was literally free to go, no suspicion on him then he decided to turn on the only passenger that was backing him, paranoia was his downfall. Also would've liked to see Sam and his family reunite
He was already identified as a hijacker... what do you mean he was "free to go"? You better believe any of the innocent passengers were not free to go either until cleared of any and all suspicions.
I’m confused how this is the finale… we didn’t get any explanation as to who these people are, what money were they getting, the hijackers had people they worked for, who were they. What happened to Amanda’s family, were they ever in danger?
It clearly explained it was an organised crime gang and they hijacked the plane to gain money via using short call options on the Kingdom stock. Not sure how seeing if Amanda's daughter is fine would be that much of a game changer?
They were an extremely violent organized crime unit. They made many Millions shorting the stock of Kingdom Airlines, which plummeted due to the Hijacking. It's varies in degree, but the Hijackers were all involved with the OCG Organization. Some like Amanda and the Trader were not until just prior to the flight. So the Hijackers worked or were held hostage by people that would kill their family is they didn't do as told. A couple of gaps? What did happen to Amanda's family? Well we know from the show they didn't die, but we were told by the main Hijacker with the loaded gun they were dead already or would die either way. My thought is, the OCG Gang threatened their families. And that was enough to get them to cooperate. Even though for them, there was no need to kill Amanda's family because they just expected her to crash the plane,I think the same goes with the Trader guy. Once the threat was out there, what could they do other than follow orders? They did kill some family members, but that was probably just to prove they could/would. I took it as all the Hijackers were doing this because if they didn't, their family would be killed. None of them seemed really "On board" with the plan, they all seemed kind of like they were operating from a place of fear. Which makes the final confrontation even a little more forced and unnecessary.
@@TangoNevada "but we were told by the main Hijacker with the loaded gun they were dead already or would die either way" No Sam just told this lie to Amanda in order to persuade her. He didnt know whether her daughter would die or not. Like he said before, he's just trying to survive.
Okay, now... what, exactly, got explained about the ending, here? There were money men behind the stock market short. WHO? Certainly not the two who were being released from prison. They didn't set the whole thing up from behind bars, and it takes a LOT of money to finance a stock market short of that magnitude. We know none of the "hijackers" were behind it. They were either unarmed or severely under-armed for a hijacking. PLUS, they were clearly expendable. And what was the deal with the last scene with Stewart and Sam? Stewart wasn't a killer by nature-we saw the conflict in him when he had to kill someone for a photo. He had NO reason to want to kill Sam. Sam had tried to save his brother. In fact, it felt like that last conflict between him and Sam was smoke and mirrors to make us forget that there were other REAL criminals who remained untouched at the series' ending and who would not be addressed by another episode or follow-up series. I really enjoyed the show, but the ending felt like a cheat.
There were many frustrating plot holes in this. I was baffled as to why the Captain allowed the terrorist inside. I was hoping he had some kind of relationship with the terrorist to explain why he would open the door, but nope he just randomly bashed his first officer and allowed them in. Several pointless subplots with the ATC and her kid that went nowhere along with Sam's wife (didn't seem to really care for him at all lol). Also, the bad guy's basically get away in the end with little repercussion. Overall, there were just too many baffling logic lapses and unintentionally funny scenes that detract from a good show. 4/10
The show literally showed that the captain opened the cockpit because he was in love with flight attendant. That captain was targeted for that information alone. Don’t mark the show down just because you’re not paying attention.
@@ashley.taylor174 I didn't miss that detail. What really stretched my suspension of disbelief is he would risk everybody's lives for that 1 person. Now I'd imagine you would counter that by saying people are prone to weakness when faced with a personal situation like that but being a highly trained pilot you would think that he would consider the stakes involved, and the pilot did everything wrong including suddenly bashing his first officer's head to keep his little secret.
@@imulan I've already addressed that with my "prone to weakness when faced with a personal situation". It's fine for me if a person does 1 or 2 brash choices-this pilot just kept on making so much of them.
Why were the two top government officials such idiots? How did Stuart get loose from the zipties? And how did he get the loaded gun back? Why did the two fighter jets not stay close to the jet liner, just in case?
After Sam is being a hero in Hijack, his amazing negotiation skill is making him getting hired by some big companies under the new alias Alcott to hire the best wounded mercenary in the World, Rake
Thanks for your explanation. My subscription to Apple+ ran out after episode 6. Now I know what happened and didn’t have to suffer the roller coaster ride of emotions episode 7 would have caused me. I guess they threw in the bit with Sam’s son to give him a chance to bond with his mom’s boyfriend. The situation did seem unrealistic in that those cold blooded assassins would have killed him the minute he showed his face.
I feel like there was so much untold in season 1 and that the ground knows nothing about what was going on, I really hope that Sam nelson explains everything to the people.
Man this show was great. Apple TV is doing amazing with these TV SHOWS and should put out season 2. What a ride. I was itching every week for a new episode
The cleaners made no sense at all. Why did they go there? Then why did they stay when it seemed the apartment was empty. Then why didn't they kill the kid immediately? They were actually cleaning the apartment at one point which was bizarre. They were wearing gloves and shoe covers. What were they cleaning? They tried to break into a Mac with out a clue to the password. I guess 'abc123' didn't work.
Amanda had flying experience from being in the navy, the air traffic control were speaking to Amanda and it would have probably been more dangerous to leave the cockpit, go and get a different pilot especially when the fuel was so low
Two things why didn’t sas or special forces raid the plane and why did Sam just walk out the plane like I thought they were gonna drag him and the hijacker out
The show is clean from any sexual act which is why I would give it an A. Also, the story has been filmed professionally, however, the decisions of the PM and the home Secretary didn't make sense. I wonder wither they will say the same thing in real life
Great show ending maybe felt a little rushed i wish they had showed what had happened to john coz that bit seemed not well explained but other than that they did well tbh as there were alot of plot holes but they all made sense and linked in with the story overall great show and idris elba was amazing as usual
What show do we watch now guys ? This was so good! And I agree with you completely the kai thing was not necessarily needed but how they got him back was smooth . And I needed a bit more from the ending . Like the plane blew up or some ish . But it was really good
@@tommycanavan8285 severance is a thriller on Apple TV exploring the idea of work life balance in a futuristic way. It’s slow paced but excellently written and shot. It could easily fit into the black mirror series. Silo is a sci-fi series exploring a seemingly post apocalyptic world. It’s not the most captivating but something to watch and still be somewhat engaged
I didn’t enjoy this series overall. I felt it was asking too much to believe Idris Elba could interject himself so much into the affairs of hijackers and not be killed when others on the plane were killed for a whole lot less or for nothing at all. No hijacker would allow his antics to slide. Also, Alice (the flight controller) taking charge of a situation she clearly wasn’t a part of and disobeying her boss didn’t make any sense.
I liked it all except the whole Amanda story line, it felt like every choice was made for the sake of it. Firstly, why kill the captain, he literally wasn't doing anything, even when he had the opportunity he sat there debating it. Secondly, why is she cool as a cucumber one second and hysterical the next, she's not even a terrorist, she's just being blackmailed. Thirdly, get her out the cockpit, she's a random who worked in the navy, she's in no way qualified to fly a passenger jet. Escpecially when you have a first officer on the plane, who conviniently dissapeared in the last episode.
I liked the show. Nevertheless, there were a few plotholes. The whole plan was based on the fact that Colette was on board, but in the beginning, she said that she would have been on another flight if she hadn‘t changed her schedule. So how could the hijackers have known that? I thought the whole time that she was involved too.
How you guys rip these clips from tv series? With some screencapture or how? Also are these clips legal? I don`t really mind that but seems like every reviewer got high quality rips fir background video. Afterall these are not trailers that are in fair use scope. Anyways I love these endings explained. Thanks for that.
Because Amanda had flying experience from when she was in the navy and air traffic control were already talking to her. It would have probably been more dangerous to go and get the co pilot especially considering there was barely any fuel at that point
Yup - that was a ridiculous plot fart. An avionics consultant with flying experience is going to dead stick an airbus on a too short airstrip.@@BrainPilot
I give it a 7.5 out of 10. I enjoy this mini series, but it was a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. I still enjoy the series and will tell other people about it.
Man that finale was kinda silly IMO. The cleaners looked like a couple of dopes walking out of that apartment with Kai in tow LOL. And Sam getting back on the plane, ending up in a 1v1 with Stuart was also a bit ridiculous.
It seems like they bookended the series with two ridculous plot points. First, they wasted a lot of the ground personnel's time trying to figure out the nature of the emergency when all trhe pilot had to do was squawk 7500 on the transponder(hijack). Now in the last episode, after an improably "safe" landing, given the altitude and speed on approach, they had the audacity to roll up mobile stairs for disembarqation. ("Mints and wet towels , anyone?") The correct procedure would have been to deploy evacuation chutes and get everyone off within 90 seconds. What a show, intense but also funny.
What happened to the co-pilot? Why didn't she land the plane? It was a good show... but the co-pilot disappearing at the end is one of the dumbest omissions
The ending was much happier than I thought it was gonna be I was literally about to throw up in fear they were gonna crash that's how intense this show has been and how amazing the acting is lowkey made me forget it wasn't real
they needed to get out of jail for the money to be of any use. the plot doesn't make any logical sense. Also, selling short on an incident like that would have their trade flagged as it was probably a large one and on a specific date, which would be a huge RED flag of insider trading. So that account would get frozen and they would never see any of that money.
Ill be honest, stakes didn't feel high because I didnt know this was the last episode, and they played everything so safe the entire time. Amanda was the best part of the plot.
I kind wished it landed but only to refuel (hijackers some how manipulated the airport ground to get fuel for the plane) and take off to somewhere else for again for season 2. It's going to hard now to create a story if they are to do a season 2. Unless its Hijacking of ship perhaps lol. But it was truly an exceptional series nevertheless
It was a great series, but if the two released prisoners were behind it all, how did they organize the massive effort to have most of the passenger and staff families in jeopardy. It seems like a lot for anyone, let alone two people in jail.
The ending was ridiculous. Like no police officers would come on to clear the plane. "We'll just wait for all the bad guys to get off the plane". I mean there were guns on the plane. I was on a plane once with a angry drunk guy, and when we landed at JFK, ten NYPD officers came on the plane. Cuffed him, and escorted him off before any of us could get off the plane.
The premise is ridiculous. The pilot never would have opened the cockpit in the first episode. Also there were so many people in the plane they could have killed the hijackers even with the guns. They could have wrestled them away and beat the crap out of them. There were many times the pilot could have taken the plane back and locked himself in the cockpit since the door was left wide open. Also if you have a huge short sale on the stock, that could be tracked very easily and they would be able to find who placed the short, the bank account it went to, etc.
Loved the series and the episode reviews. I hate cliff hangar endings that are left unresolved. I came to the conclusion that the asian lady in the home office had a part in the hijack when she confirmed that there were 5 suspects and one was dead so only 4 arrests (1 female & 3 males) it was in fact 6 suspects because she didn't include stuart and she also said the bearded man was the ring leader.
I tried to hold it together on that decent part but they just kept showing the kids it seemed and i broke . I got two kids boy and girl . J was ready to kanehameha that cockpit door
Loved every episode this show had to offer plot twist with Amanda shooting the captain & locking herself inside the cockpit.. thought it was over worth watching 🙏🏾
Good series but not the ending. Why the pilot still waiting around when all the commotion was going on? He should have rush back into the cockpit and lock the door and fly the plane. After Amanda opened the door, where the heck is the First Officer? Suddenly Anna is missing - nowhere to be seen. And the ending with Stuart doesnt makes sense. Who cut him loose? Why did Sam close the door? Why not run back down and get the police to do their jobs? The ending was not clever at all.
This short series was just awesomeness, just like the treasured "LINE OF DUTY" -- the quality of Television has gotten so much better. Next run for me will be getting off me hiney to go and see the latest film from my current favorite film director Christopher Nolan: Opphenheimer. Should I walk or run to go see it? hahaha
I thought they had Elodie and was going to kill her anyway? Who did Amanda call and said she’s coming home to? And yeah that final face off didn’t make a lot of sense. Series was great but some things didn’t add up.
Acting was beautiful. I watched for Idris and as I am home sick, but the story has so many unrealistic moments, it makes it silly in my opinion. would I recommend it? probably not.
I got so much anxiety watching this show, especially at the final episode. I can't watch tv shows like this for a month at least lol. I should rather play some games, watch some comedy shows, or spend some time with my loved ones. Also, there were a bit too many plot holes in this one. Unfortunate but not a lot you can do because of how Hollywood operates.
I think I’m the only one that didn’t enjoy it and found the finale lacklustre. The pilot was good. The premise of the protagonist “helping” the hi jackers was intriguing. I expected exceptional manipulation where the antagonists never see what’s coming for them until the end. There was manipulation but not as clever or cunning as I’d like. There were subplots and twists which were predictable and forced. A lady straight up killing off an important character only to be convinced in the end. Assassins that were hard on the first episode but when it came to the son such a plot armour. Etc. episode 1-3 were tolerable. After those it tries to be as convoluted and clever it turned out cheesy. 5.5/10.
think theres another episode to come...usually they are even numbers...4,6 or 8 they still need to tie a few loose ends. Sam getting locked in the plan was OTT. Those on screen were not the ones that organised it... nothing was by chance...seriously

Okay, now... what, exactly, got explained about the ending, here? There were money men behind the stock market short. WHO? Certainly not the two who were being released from prison. They didn't set the whole thing up from behind bars, and it takes a LOT of money to finance a stock market short of that magnitude. We know none of the "hijackers" were behind it. They were either unarmed or severely under-armed for a hijacking. PLUS, they were clearly expendable.
And what was the deal with the last scene with Stewart and Sam? Stewart wasn't a killer by nature-we saw the conflict in him when he had to kill someone for a photo. He had NO reason to want to kill Sam. Sam had tried to save his brother. In fact, it felt like that last conflict between him and Sam was smoke and mirrors to make us forget that there were other REAL criminals who remained untouched at the series' ending and who would not be addressed by another episode or follow-up series.
I really enjoyed the show, but the ending felt like a cheat.
There were many frustrating plot holes in this. I was baffled as to why the Captain allowed the terrorist inside. I was hoping he had some kind of relationship with the terrorist to explain why he would open the door, but nope he just randomly bashed his first officer and allowed them in. Several pointless subplots with the ATC and her kid that went nowhere along with Sam's wife (didn't seem to really care for him at all lol). Also, the bad guy's basically get away in the end with little repercussion. Overall, there were just too many baffling logic lapses and unintentionally funny scenes that detract from a good show. 4/10
I agree! So many moments made me laugh at how ridiculous the people acted😂
The show literally showed that the captain opened the cockpit because he was in love with flight attendant. That captain was targeted for that information alone. Don’t mark the show down just because you’re not paying attention.
@@ashley.taylor174 I didn't miss that detail. What really stretched my suspension of disbelief is he would risk everybody's lives for that 1 person. Now I'd imagine you would counter that by saying people are prone to weakness when faced with a personal situation like that but being a highly trained pilot you would think that he would consider the stakes involved, and the pilot did everything wrong including suddenly bashing his first officer's head to keep his little secret.
@@powerfultoa7 When someone you love is in danger, you tend to make erratic decisions. Also conflict's gotta conflict else we won't get past Ep1 lol.
@@imulan I've already addressed that with my "prone to weakness when faced with a personal situation". It's fine for me if a person does 1 or 2 brash choices-this pilot just kept on making so much of them.
Why were the two top government officials such idiots? How did Stuart get loose from the zipties? And how did he get the loaded gun back? Why did the two fighter jets not stay close to the jet liner, just in case?
And the “cleaners” would never have believed the fire alarm was real. They knew Detective Daniel was going to show up.
@@levrocknyc And Daniel managed to get a SWAT team on site in about 10 minutes!
After Sam is being a hero in Hijack, his amazing negotiation skill is making him getting hired by some big companies under the new alias Alcott to hire the best wounded mercenary in the World, Rake
Thanks for your explanation. My subscription to Apple+ ran out after episode 6. Now I know what happened and didn’t have to suffer the roller coaster ride of emotions episode
7 would have caused me. I guess they threw in the bit with Sam’s son to give him a chance to bond with his mom’s boyfriend. The situation did seem unrealistic in that those cold blooded assassins would have killed him the minute he showed his face.
And the ending wasn’t pointless. Stuart wanted revenge, pretty simple reason really 🤷♂️😂
At its core, I suppose!
I feel like there was so much untold in season 1 and that the ground knows nothing about what was going on, I really hope that Sam nelson explains everything to the people.
I think that's it. I'm pretty sure it's a limited series.
Man this show was great. Apple TV is doing amazing with these TV SHOWS and should put out season 2. What a ride. I was itching every week for a new episode
Yeah they are doing some great shows at the moment!
I missed how did idris convince. Amanda that her family was ok? And how was her family ok if they were held like idris son?
The cleaners made no sense at all. Why did they go there? Then why did they stay when it seemed the apartment was empty. Then why didn't they kill the kid immediately? They were actually cleaning the apartment at one point which was bizarre. They were wearing gloves and shoe covers. What were they cleaning? They tried to break into a Mac with out a clue to the password. I guess 'abc123' didn't work.
Hope you explain why the first officer didn’t take over the controls
Amanda had flying experience from being in the navy, the air traffic control were speaking to Amanda and it would have probably been more dangerous to leave the cockpit, go and get a different pilot especially when the fuel was so low
Two things why didn’t sas or special forces raid the plane and why did Sam just walk out the plane like I thought they were gonna drag him and the hijacker out
The worst was him casually grabbing his phone without saying anything, WHEN A GUN WAS IN THE BATHROOM, and no one even bats an eye.
What a show. I got a bit emotional, I was so anxious. But there’s so many more loose ends to close
Yeah there was definitely something emotional about it!
What are the loose ends you saw? I had some too.
The show is clean from any sexual act which is why I would give it an A. Also, the story has been filmed professionally, however, the decisions of the PM and the home Secretary didn't make sense. I wonder wither they will say the same thing in real life
Every show without sexual act gets an A?
@@damiendegrasse indeeed
Great show ending maybe felt a little rushed i wish they had showed what had happened to john coz that bit seemed not well explained but other than that they did well tbh as there were alot of plot holes but they all made sense and linked in with the story overall great show and idris elba was amazing as usual
It's okay. Nothing more and nothing less. People giving it 5 stars must be mad.
What show do we watch now guys ? This was so good! And I agree with you completely the kai thing was not necessarily needed but how they got him back was smooth . And I needed a bit more from the ending . Like the plane blew up or some ish . But it was really good
Severance and the silo if you haven’t seen them
Also asking this same question lol
@@winniefrimpong1116are they good ...thrillers ..drama ..set in England ?
@@tommycanavan8285 severance is a thriller on Apple TV exploring the idea of work life balance in a futuristic way. It’s slow paced but excellently written and shot. It could easily fit into the black mirror series. Silo is a sci-fi series exploring a seemingly post apocalyptic world. It’s not the most captivating but something to watch and still be somewhat engaged
I didn’t enjoy this series overall. I felt it was asking too much to believe Idris Elba could interject himself so much into the affairs of hijackers and not be killed when others on the plane were killed for a whole lot less or for nothing at all. No hijacker would allow his antics to slide.
Also, Alice (the flight controller) taking charge of a situation she clearly wasn’t a part of and disobeying her boss didn’t make any sense.
I liked it all except the whole Amanda story line, it felt like every choice was made for the sake of it.
Firstly, why kill the captain, he literally wasn't doing anything, even when he had the opportunity he sat there debating it.
Secondly, why is she cool as a cucumber one second and hysterical the next, she's not even a terrorist, she's just being blackmailed.
Thirdly, get her out the cockpit, she's a random who worked in the navy, she's in no way qualified to fly a passenger jet. Escpecially when you have a first officer on the plane, who conviniently dissapeared in the last episode.
Because of that final showdown, I think Sam was involved as well. They all had their roles to play
It’s definitely an interesting thought!
Anyone else notice the railway bridge in the last episode with the traffic jam scene? It was where the Great train robbery was committed
Best show but ending is disappointed overall best great explanation ❤️
It's a shame the ending didn't hit how you wanted it to! But thanks, glad you enjoyed the video!
I liked the show. Nevertheless, there were a few plotholes. The whole plan was based on the fact that Colette was on board, but in the beginning, she said that she would have been on another flight if she hadn‘t changed her schedule. So how could the hijackers have known that? I thought the whole time that she was involved too.
Really, really great Show: Luther in the sky with diamonds. BTW Idris Elba hinted that a second season is not completely off the table.
That would be interesting! They'd almost have to rename it though. Unless he's just an incredibly unlucky person lol
How you guys rip these clips from tv series? With some screencapture or how? Also are these clips legal? I don`t really mind that but seems like every reviewer got high quality rips fir background video. Afterall these are not trailers that are in fair use scope. Anyways I love these endings explained. Thanks for that.
Why did they not being the co pilot in to land the plane
Because Amanda had flying experience from when she was in the navy and air traffic control were already talking to her. It would have probably been more dangerous to go and get the co pilot especially considering there was barely any fuel at that point
Yup - that was a ridiculous plot fart. An avionics consultant with flying experience is going to dead stick an airbus on a too short airstrip.@@BrainPilot
I had the removed frames to avoid content ID detection.. back to watched laggy youtube videos. It's regression
I give it a 7.5 out of 10. I enjoy this mini series, but it was a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. I still enjoy the series and will tell other people about it.
That’s fair!
Man that finale was kinda silly IMO. The cleaners looked like a couple of dopes walking out of that apartment with Kai in tow LOL.
And Sam getting back on the plane, ending up in a 1v1 with Stuart was also a bit ridiculous.
It seems like they bookended the series with two ridculous plot points. First, they wasted a lot of the ground personnel's time trying to figure out the nature of the emergency when all trhe pilot had to do was squawk 7500 on the transponder(hijack). Now in the last episode, after an improably "safe" landing, given the altitude and speed on approach, they had the audacity to roll up mobile stairs for disembarqation. ("Mints and wet towels , anyone?") The correct procedure would have been to deploy evacuation chutes and get everyone off within 90 seconds. What a show, intense but also funny.
What happened to the co-pilot? Why didn't she land the plane? It was a good show... but the co-pilot disappearing at the end is one of the dumbest omissions
Great show, this season finale ending was so suspenseful, hope there’s a season 2 but I wouldn’t care too much if there wasn’t, overall great show. ❤
I’d be intrigued to see how they’d do a season 2!
The ending was much happier than I thought it was gonna be I was literally about to throw up in fear they were gonna crash that's how intense this show has been and how amazing the acting is lowkey made me forget it wasn't real
Yeah it was tense!
Am i slow or did i miss who was the villains that set all the plans up?
@@mrandithankyouedgar and john the one in prison with the help of their associate devlin
they needed to get out of jail for the money to be of any use. the plot doesn't make any logical sense. Also, selling short on an incident like that would have their trade flagged as it was probably a large one and on a specific date, which would be a huge RED flag of insider trading. So that account would get frozen and they would never see any of that money.
Ill be honest, stakes didn't feel high because I didnt know this was the last episode, and they played everything so safe the entire time. Amanda was the best part of the plot.
I agree that unnecessary ending took something that was so intense, emotional, and a beautiful and turned it into the ending of a Gerard Butler movie.
I kind wished it landed but only to refuel (hijackers some how manipulated the airport ground to get fuel for the plane) and take off to somewhere else for again for season 2. It's going to hard now to create a story if they are to do a season 2. Unless its Hijacking of ship perhaps lol.
But it was truly an exceptional series nevertheless
It was a great series, but if the two released prisoners were behind it all, how did they organize the massive effort to have most of the passenger and staff families in jeopardy. It seems like a lot for anyone, let alone two people in jail.
They have associate like devlin , as it been said before it was an organized crime ring
The ending was ridiculous. Like no police officers would come on to clear the plane. "We'll just wait for all the bad guys to get off the plane". I mean there were guns on the plane. I was on a plane once with a angry drunk guy, and when we landed at JFK, ten NYPD officers came on the plane. Cuffed him, and escorted him off before any of us could get off the plane.
The premise is ridiculous. The pilot never would have opened the cockpit in the first episode.
Also there were so many people in the plane they could have killed the hijackers even with the guns. They could have wrestled them away and beat the crap out of them.
There were many times the pilot could have taken the plane back and locked himself in the cockpit since the door was left wide open.
Also if you have a huge short sale on the stock, that could be tracked very easily and they would be able to find who placed the short, the bank account it went to, etc.
Relax
I was intrigued for most of the series, but that finale was ridiculous.
That's fair!
Loved the show but the ending about stock options being the reasoning for the hijacking was kind of disappointing
That’s fair!
Loved the series and the episode reviews. I hate cliff hangar endings that are left unresolved. I came to the conclusion that the asian lady in the home office had a part in the hijack when she confirmed that there were 5 suspects and one was dead so only 4 arrests (1 female & 3 males) it was in fact 6 suspects because she didn't include stuart and she also said the bearded man was the ring leader.
I tried to hold it together on that decent part but they just kept showing the kids it seemed and i broke . I got two kids boy and girl . J was ready to kanehameha that cockpit door
I also got emotional when the plane landed. 🎉😢
i feel like it ended up so abruptly
If this was it, and there is no season 2 they should have made the finale a bit longer. Feel like there were a few loose ends
They’re planning on a season two but if they confirm it and do it won’t be on hijacking
@@luvxmatcha That works, maybe a look into that criminal org that orchestrated this
@@thee_morpheus Maybe, that would be nice .
Loved every episode this show had to offer plot twist with Amanda shooting the captain & locking herself inside the cockpit.. thought it was over worth watching 🙏🏾
Yeah it got more and more gripping didn’t it!
What happened to the prisoner who escaped after he killed his partner at the farm. Brilliant drama, absolutely loved every minute.
Looks like he just got away!
Great series yes some bits were far fetched but most shows are. Idris was excellent and so were the other actors !!! Well done Apple
Totally agree!
So, did they forget that they had the first officer sitting in the back while they tried to dead stick the landing???
There should’ve been an episode 8
Good series but not the ending. Why the pilot still waiting around when all the commotion was going on? He should have rush back into the cockpit and lock the door and fly the plane. After Amanda opened the door, where the heck is the First Officer? Suddenly Anna is missing - nowhere to be seen. And the ending with Stuart doesnt makes sense. Who cut him loose? Why did Sam close the door? Why not run back down and get the police to do their jobs? The ending was not clever at all.
This short series was just awesomeness, just like the treasured "LINE OF DUTY" -- the quality of Television has gotten so much better. Next run for me will be getting off me hiney to go and see the latest film from my current favorite film director Christopher Nolan: Opphenheimer. Should I walk or run to go see it? hahaha
Man I thought Sam was going to die at end
Yeah same!
I thought they had Elodie and was going to kill her anyway? Who did Amanda call and said she’s coming home to? And yeah that final face off didn’t make a lot of sense.
Series was great but some things didn’t add up.
He said say cheese cos Stuart said it to him in ep 3
Acting was beautiful. I watched for Idris and as I am home sick, but the story has so many unrealistic moments, it makes it silly in my opinion. would I recommend it? probably not.
What about the toy?
I got so much anxiety watching this show, especially at the final episode. I can't watch tv shows like this for a month at least lol. I should rather play some games, watch some comedy shows, or spend some time with my loved ones.
Also, there were a bit too many plot holes in this one. Unfortunate but not a lot you can do because of how Hollywood operates.
I didn’t see episode 7but was the pilot shot dead?
Anyone know why Amanda killed the pilot?
I think I’m the only one that didn’t enjoy it and found the finale lacklustre.
The pilot was good. The premise of the protagonist “helping” the hi jackers was intriguing. I expected exceptional manipulation where the antagonists never see what’s coming for them until the end. There was manipulation but not as clever or cunning as I’d like. There were subplots and twists which were predictable and forced. A lady straight up killing off an important character only to be convinced in the end. Assassins that were hard on the first episode but when it came to the son such a plot armour. Etc. episode 1-3 were tolerable. After those it tries to be as convoluted and clever it turned out cheesy. 5.5/10.
so what happened to those 2 guys that shot edgar? i need their closure
They got away!
Pilots family? No? No justice? Erm ok
I can see a season two happening, especially if the views go up.
It will be interesting to see how they make a season 2!
why did sam ex told not to get into flight ? DId she know all before ? or she was trying to avoid sam ?
Just finished the show. Amazing.
Good show but imo the ending was very unrealistic…how does the plane land and catch fire and no one gets hurt or dies. Missed the mark there imo.
How did amanda have her own gun?
If the plan was to land the plane how were the hijackers supposed to scape???
I have to thank my parents for watching this, if not for them, I wouldn't be watching these right now.
The story was simple and intense , i love it and binge watched it , need more show like this.
Yeah it was a great show!
think theres another episode to come...usually they are even numbers...4,6 or 8 they still need to tie a few loose ends. Sam getting locked in the plan was OTT. Those on screen were not the ones that organised it... nothing was by chance...seriously
No that was the season finale - no more unfortunately!
Anyone have any suggestions on good action/thriller series on Apple TV?
So John got away with it and is rich?
Yea him and devlin , that’s life bro , not all the bad guy got what they deserved
