Into the Night S1-S2

I love Apocalyptic shows or movies; especially one without zombies and monsters. Give them a more grounded and realistic approach. The threat is real and the plan is also not bad. Actually with much more budget and good writing it would have been an awesome series. Netflix have been doing a good job with international shows with Money Heist, The Kingdom(Korean) and Dark(German). I hope this show get some recognition because I am looking forward to season 2 despite its flaws.

Great thriller that keeps you on the edge for three and a bit hours. Acting is good but what makes this series intersting is the diversity of its characters and the nuances of their attitudes in the face of crises and tragedy. Morals are given a swirl, whirl and a whirlpool to change colours according to necessities fpr when lives are at risk, crimes have no consequence.

Binged the whole season in a day! I'm always up for sci-fi and I've just about exhausted every one on Netflix. This was the first good one in a loooong time. The dubbing and subtitles don't match (as with every other film) which made it really annoying but you get used to it. The show is just very hectic with a lot going on - everyone is out to kill each other in every episode. Shocking ending but looking forward to the next season! 10 stars because I really want to know what happens next.

Expected a lot - got a very little. Clear rip-off of Stephen King's "The Langoliers" does not deliver on any level. Even if you buy into a ridiculous premise of sun somehow altering human DNA, food DNA (but not canned), fuel DNA (but only jet), kills you even if you are in a bunker (but not all bunkers) and all that within seconds, what you are left with is a very, very poor writing. All characters' actions and reactions in even the most trivial situations are massively exaggerated, unbelievable, artificial and, coupled with some serious overacting, downright annoying. Coincidences, plot holes and deus ex machinas are, of course, plentiful, viewer is never emotionally engaged with any of the characters (a sick child is a cheap attempt to exploit it - but even that never converts) and none of them exhibit any signs of sadness or anger over loss of pretty much everything and everyone. Seriously, save yourself some time and skip this 3rd grade project.

Are there plot holes, yes. Can a helicopter pilot fly a commercial airline, no. Can a home health care aide perform surgery, of course not. Is it enjoyable to watch and am I engaged and care about the characters? Yes. This is not for the "Must be 100% accurate, or it's trash"! critics viewing from Mom's basement. Suspend your disbelief and just enjoy a nice Friday/Saturday night on the couch movie. The episodes fly by because I'm entertained (and they're short- 38 minutes-ish) and I have no desire to multi-task with a phone game or whatnot. Full disclosure, I watched in French because I can speak French (it's not entirely in French though) and subtitles don't bother me. I don't know how the English dub sounds, but that always destroys a movie for me when the audio isn't matching the actor's lips. Plus, the dubbed script never quite matches the real nuances of what's really being said.
