Just something to watch. It's not the walking dead is it!

Promising idea however I thought it was just poorly executed.

I agree. Great idea, but they just can't help themselves can they... why do we always have to have several 'love interest' threads. And everything re: political personality was black and white (no puns intended). Considering the cast and the budget it was v.poor. Shame, as I was looking forward to it. Mind you - plane crash was pretty well done I thought.

Watching the second episode now.

First time I've ever watched anything on Sky One for more than five minutes.

So far, good cast, but as usual for Sky One and their audience demographic, thin storyline. Sticking with it for now.

Just watched the first episode, I'll watch it again tomorrow as I kept dozing off, I finished night duty this morning and haven't been to bed yet. I must admit the plane crash looked pretty decent. I've downloaded all 6 episodes off sky go.

Just watched the first one and was reaching for the fast forward already. (When the blonde woman was on mainly). It’s a great story but how will Sky tell it ?

I’ve watched the whole series. It’s not bad. It’s not line of duty but it killed an afternoon watching my daughter swimming (60 seconds of activity followed by an hour of waiting for the next event).

On streaming the adverts are ridiculous.

I tried to watch it. The PM said 'do the math.' Don't people in COBR actually call it cob-ra, as opposed to co-bra?

Another sky production mess on every level. Awful as the cast are obviously talented but given this driveling script

Shame

Into the 4th episode and my interest is flagging. I doubt I’ll bother with the fifth. Good cast. Good idea. Poorly acted and equally poor direction.

Watching it now. It’s ok, a bit thin but watchable.

What I don’t get is how solar flares interference with avionics would cause a modern airliner to crash due to lack of fuel?

tried to think that one out....

messed up avionics and confused air traffic control not a good mix - please fly around till we get the air traffic control up and then pop they run out of juice.

I watched all of it last night. Didn't hold my attention at all. I ended up with a couple of bottles of Merlot down me and surfing the internet whilst it was on.

Watched it over the weekend, it was ok. I just don't believe that they would not have implemented marshal law in the red zone. I liked David Haig as a slimy, nasty politician out for his own ends.

It was weird how there was no mention of the rest of the world and how they all had smart phones throughout.

I watched E.3 last night. The asian guy was being lynched and someone put a belt around his neck and tied it to the back of a trail bike. The policewoman was standing on front of the bike whilst the rider was revving it, begging him not to pull off.
Just switch it off and take the keys, you stupid cow!!!
I doubt I will watch any more.
