Departure - the TV programme

Has anyone else tried to watch this? I watched the first episode last night. It revolves around the investigation into the disappearance of an airliner over the Atlantic, very loosely based on MH370 as far as I can see.

The thing that struck me was how little they had bothered to research what goes on in the cockpit and over the radio. Ten minutes spent with any airline pilot would have got it right. Phraseology, frequencies… they get it all wrong.

There are 18 episodes, and while i quite enjoyed the first one despite its obvious flaws, I don’t think I’m ready to dedicate another 17 hours of my life to it.

Thanks for the warning @johnh, so I won’t be loosing some of my previous time either 😉

I’ve watched some episode from the first season (second is about a train crash). I think it is set in some fictitious country, as none of acronyms match the reality, so I stopped watching fairly quickly.
Good actors, but too much drama, did not like it at all…

Damn autocorrect @Emir, previous would be a bit on the late side, wouldn’t it 🤣
