watched the first four episodes hoping it was going to improve but it hasn't. i won't bother with the last two.

it's so predictable it's verging on cliche.

Same as the above apart from only managing 3 episodes.

If it's so predictable, please tell us what is going to happen in the final two episodes.

Some people will continue to watch it just to find out who from the crew is rogue doing all the sabotaging, some parts are predictable such as surrane Jones having incidents without her meds suffering from some form of claustrophobia, I expect a few more of them before the curtains close.

I watched episode 4 and 5 yesterday and overall find it quite good.

Apparently, the final episode has a 'shocking' twist, so might as well watch the final episode.

I thought some of those Scandinavian crime offerings went on a bit, but this one takes the biscuit.

Looking forward to the final episode. Not every minute of a six episode series are perfect but this is very enjoyable Could have been better with jokes about sardines, and tin cans.

I thought the last episode was really well written, nicely tightening everything up for the finale on Sunday.
So to speak.

A disappointing last episode. Nothing really happened that couldn’t have been wrapped up in 5 minutes.

I thought it was quite a decent conclusion to an excellent series.
You could level the "5 minutes wrapping up" criticism at most dramas if you think about it.
You'd still be wrong, mind.

Hope you dont watch the 110 hours of Game of Thrones then 😂😂😂

I thought they wrapped it up very well ... in tonights episode (although must admit to avoid spoilers I stayed off here because I watched it on i-player)

Utter utter tosh. All over the shop, no dramatic tension must have cost a bomb to make. I watched all 6 episodes coz Mrs Trumpet thought it was ok. Waste of my eyes’ time

I thought it was reasonable. Possibly a 7 out of 10, but not sure it's something I'd suggest people watch if they haven't yet seen it.

There was talk of a series 2, but now sure how that one would work.

I liked the series but it was an odd decision to end the story halfway through the finale.

Perhaps the Submarine story part ended 1/2 way but they used the last 20minutes or so to tie up storylines ... rather than have people speculate on the outcomes of relationships and characters as happens in other series ... I prefer that than just end it with the bad guy caught and the credits roll

Yes, I was expecting another twist - after they all got on the helicopter.
