All of Bay's best instincts went into this show. It is tense and exciting and above all, logical. It makes sense and the obstacles placed in front to the crew of the Nathan James (LOVE that name) are real and difficult to overcome. Each person has to be thinking on their feet and outside the box if they have any hope of surviving and the script really targets that fear of the unknown.
I have even more respect for the Chain of Command and military discipline when there is a crisis afoot. Someone has to be calling the shots and someone has to be accountable for decisions that are made. It's a delicate balance and this show walks it nicely. I can't get enough of countdown clocks and last minute saves.

There are also no real bad guys here except for maybe the Russians but they are always the bad guys. Can we all just admit that they just make the best villains?
It's killing me that I will have to wait a whole week to see the next chapter in this story. It's that compelling. I am enjoying all the personal story arcs and hope they remain strong.
The 'We don't negotiate with terrorists' moment is particularly sweet. Hoo Raw. I also like that they picked up more allies on their journey. I am fully invested in this one and you should be too. Have I ever steered you wrong in the past?
