Since google fails us by not providing user review function for this programme, it was necessary to go through the tedium of installing IMDB app, registration with their annoying verification bs, just to review it. That's how powerful the compulsion to let the makers know how insulting is their treatment of the viewer here.
Like a fatigue crack in a component, the well-worn formula of disaster footage, commentator soundbite, flashbacks, more disaster footage, commentary, rinse/ repeat with the solution provided within 5 minutes approx, of the end of the show, is bound to fail. Catastrophically.
The explanations are pitched at 5-year-olds. 3 people are edited in consecutively saying the same thing in only slightly different ways. Commentary is fatuous 'bringing it closer to catastrophic collapse' (just 'closer to collapse' would suffice thanks-OF COURSE IT'S CATASTROPHIC!)(I agree with the reviewer who singles out Sian Proctor, geophysical(?) consultant who thinks her remit includes aerospace engineering- but she's not the only one guilty of this, only the easiest to pick on account of her irritatingly sharp voice).
Strangely, the most informative things on the show, the 3D animated schematics, are overly brief and cursory and quick.
At every turn there are frustrations as questions arise that are never addressed; 'how did those cars come to rest there?', 'What were those ripples that were mentioned?', 'How did she break out of the car, and at what point?'. Questions the answers to which could even save lives.
All interesting info has been stripped away/ not included. Only the barest info remains and is presented with absolute parsimony.
Too many talking heads saying far too little to satisfy curiosity. I don't want to watch the sickening disaster moments for a tenth time, it see/ hear 3 people say the same obvious thing.
The soundtrack music is stressful AND boring, the worst possible combination.
In treating their audience as idiots hungry for cheap sensationalism they have introduced that fatal crack in the edifice that is their production company. While they fill their pockets they are breaking its reputation.
One final note: STOP SAYING 'CATASTROPHIC'. You've flogged the word, flayed it, killed it, burned it and stomped all over the cold dead ashes.
