Channel 4 viewers make same complaint about new thriller In Flight minutes after debut

Tonight, Channel 4 aired the first episode of highly anticipated thriller, In Flight. The six-part series follows the story of single mum and flight attendant Jo Conran whose life is turned upside down when her son is imprisoned for a murder in Bulgaria. However, he swears he didn't commit it.

In a desperate attempt, to save her son, Jo takes a huge risk and begins to smuggle drugs over the boarder through her job - but how will things pan out?

Fans sat down at 9pm to watch the first instalment on Channel 4, starring Katherine Kelly, but it seemed like a number of fans had the same comment, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter to complain. It comes after BBC Death in Paradise's Kris Marshall shares heartbreak over being sacked and losing job.

Fans had no complaints about the series, just the lack of it. "Too many bloody ads," said one disappointed viewer, while another penned: "More adverts than programme!"

Aside from the adverts, the series had good reviews, with excited fans ready to watch the new series. One penned: "I Can’t wait! I’m going to have to watch the rest of the series on 4 now!"

Those who can't wait for the next episode next week can catch all episodes on the streamer now. Fans were left on a cliffhanger with Jo telling a concerned Dominic that she needed her help - and some can't wait until next week to find out what happens next.

We won't give too much away for those who haven't caught up, but for those wanting to know more, the official synopsis for the drama reads: "As Jo becomes ensnared in the murky underworld of corruption and hired killers, she is forced to carry out their orders while desperately trying to find a way out.

"She turns to her ex, Dom, for help. However, no matter how far Jo finds herself from her old life, her mission remains the same: to keep her son alive.

"Set against the fast-paced, high-pressure backdrop of international air travel, In Flight follows Jo's relentless quest to protect her family while entangled in a dangerous criminal syndicate."

The fictional crime drama, which stars Coronation Street's Katherine Kelly in the lead role, is set to air weekly, with fans not wanting to binge online having to wait until Tuesday for the next part of the series.

Joining Katherine Kelly in the series is Babylon's Stuart Martin who plays the role of lead criminal gang member Cormac.

Jo's ex, Dom Delaney also plays a key part in the role and is played by actor Ashley Thomas, who also goes by stage name Bashy. Fans may recognise the star for his role as Jermaine Newton in TopBoy.
