I have read a lot of negative comments about this series, and I have to disagree! This is a fast-paced thriller that you don't have to think about. It has cliched characters and lines, and it's all the better for them.

All you have to do is sit in front of a screen and be entertained without having to think too hard about the plot or characters. It is one of those TV programmes that reminds me of disaster movies from the 70s/80s, such as The Towering Inferno or Earthquake. Admittedly, it is not as good, but you see my train of thought.

This is not a serious attempt to deliver a message; you don't need a PhD to understand it! It is simply an entertaining piece of TV.

As one reviewer said:

I struggled to decide on a score as there was a lot wrong with this, but it was so compelling. Comparable to a great page-turning holiday read. It's not Dickens, but sometimes we all need a bit of light escapist stuff.

I agree.
