I have mixed feelings about this one. I thought the basic premise was incredibly interesting, but I struggled with the pacing, particularly with the character backgrounds. The story uses different timelines to introduce the characters, following key moments from their lives to establish who they are and explain the events that led them to be on the bus the day of the crash. While this was an important plot device, some of these background arcs felt dry, and not all of the sub-stories were engaging.

I also struggled with one of the main leads. There are several main characters, essentially all of the survivors, but there was one in particular whose personality and decision-making really bothered me. And because she had such a significant presence and influence on the other characters, it made some of the story's developments frustrating to watch.

My biggest issue, though, is that the drama clearly sets up a sequel, but nothing has been released yet. As a result, many of the mysteries and twists are left unresolved, and even some of the answers we do get leave additional questions behind. Without a follow-up, the story ultimately feels incomplete.

That's especially disappointing because the sci-fi elements and underlying mysteries were the parts I found most interesting. I was invested in figuring out what was going on, so ending the drama without a real conclusion was a major letdown. It isn't necessarily a bad setup for a larger story, but as a standalone watch, it leaves far too many questions unanswered.
