What I don't like about this series


They show in the beginning exactly what's going to happen so you don't have to watch the episode.

What I most like about the series is trying to predict what's going to happen as things start going south without knowing anything about the flight in advance. I do try to skip over the spoilers but once in a while I can't find where the spoiler ends and the episode begins without getting spoiled in the process.

edit: changed the subject. I don't really hate I just feel strongly about things. Also some noted how they don't spoil the "how it happened". I concede to that point.

I was going onto this board to write more or less exactly what you pointed out.

The first 80 seconds is a complete waste and I always skip it. I guess they feel they need to get peoples attention from the get go, but I agree with you, it sort of ruins the fun of trying to ascertain what is going to happen and what they can do to prevent it.

Also, amazed by the amount of trolling you received for your post. I thought the majority of audience for this show was mature adults. I guess I was wrong :)

The "spoilers" in the beginning is the only thing stopping me from giving this show a 10/10 (now just a 9/10)

I totally agree with nermo, even some episodes name's can spoil the whole documentary. Now we know its a documentary not a movie but still, its a well done documentary that often keeps us on the edge of our seats because its really well done and its based on real accidents. But still, I skip the first 45 seconds always because it just ruins the documentary. For example, the episode Season3-ep13 it was titled "Ocean Landing", now its a very sad and emotional show but still some episodes ends with actually the Pilot handling the situation and saves everyone on board, I hope its the case on all episodes but its not. So.. whatever..
