Only watched the first episode but the characters do not seem that interesting and I think they rushed into the combat scenes instead of just letting the character stew and develop properly for a few episodes.

The whole thing with the bar in Greenland was a lot of screen time to basically cast a single character as a zany "cool" guy. I feel like it could have been spent a lot better working with the dynamic of people from all over with different backgrounds trying to work as a crew. They even touch on it when they talk about farm boys flying in planes. That's interesting. I don't care that some idiot trashes bars for funsies and I'm pretty sure it's not going to pay off in any meaningful way..

Yeah the sudden explosion was too Hollywood. It didn't make sense since there was no foreshadowing of it, as all the foreshadowing was the "we're about to smash into the earth and you need to get out of the plane"

It kinda undercuts the moment. The point is they had to make difficult and heart wrenching choices in high stress environments. When the fort blows up they're kinda subverting it because in hindsight bailing out was the only correct choice - if he had stayed one second longer he would have been dead too. Basically I think the director flinched at making him look bad and blew up the fort to absolve him.
