[Big Pistons Forever]

I was very skeptical when I watched the first episode, but have to say I was surprised at the effort made to keep the flying part realistic. That episodes theme around overloading and unsecured cargo as well as the FO wannabe's dilemma about being a team player and shading the truth over saying what really happened, depicted a dirty little Northern flying secret, something I would not have expected in a prime time TV show.

Sadly that episode was the high point. It has now regressed to not very good day time soap opera territory. The resolution of the crash was totally lame and the flying connection is all but gone. I get that you got to have the personal stuff to keep the audience but the first episode was an example of how you could also tell a good story

I gave it up at episode 5, which was 3 episodes too late.....
