My family and I liked the entire series. Great suspense. Good cliffhangers at the end, which makes you want to binge-watch the entire series. We finished it in one day. The series goes straight to the point with only 6 episodes, at 40-ish minutes per episode. In today's times, sometimes you want a quick show. And this delivers!
There's a Langoliers feel to it. One could think it's a rip-off, but there's also another philosophy that films can be inspired by other films.
The only critique I have is how the heroine made that decision in the end. She cuffed the Major, and she says she did this because she's "a leader." This is not what true leadership is about. True leadership means she should have stayed with the Major, and ensured that everyone (including the Major) will be safe, regardless of what the Major did with Ayaz. Yes, a leader has to account for all the actions of the person, but she also has to account for one major act, which should have more weight than the other actions, and that major act is that the Major saved ALL their lives at the very beginning. That has to count for a lot more. So she shouldn't have left him there. She should've stayed with him. And then when Team Bravo didn't show up by the time window, then she should have uncuffed the Major, and high-tailed it to the bunker.
Furthermore, a true leader is humble--she would not say "I'm a leader." In order to validate that she's a leader, SOMEONE ELSE has to say that she's a leader.
We were rooting for her since the first episode. But because of her actions in the last episode, she is not someone we wanted to root for, anymore.
Anyway, that's the only critique I have. Apart from that, we really loved the 6-part series. The science may not be logical, but that's why this is science-fiction. I was also calculating the speed of the sun relative to the person on earth. The British pilot is correct. It travels approximately 1,000 miles per hour. (The earth is approximately 24,000 miles in circumference, and the sun makes one round trip in 24 hours relative to the observer. 24K miles divided by 24 hrs is 1,000 MPH.) No commercial airliner can travel 1,000 miles per hour. That's more than Mach 1. The Concord was retired ages ago. So the solution is to fly closer to the poles. British pilot mentioned that cosine equation, which validates it. You travel west, and you do it closer to the poles, you WILL outrun the sun.
