Viewers of the latest ITV drama “Red Eye” have expressed disappointment over glaring plot holes and inaccuracies in the legal aspects of the storyline.

The series follows the character Dr Matthew Nolan, who is transported from the UK to Beijing to face accusations regarding a woman found dead in his car wreckage.

Chinese-British police officer DC Hana Li, portrayed by Jing Lusi, is tasked with accompanying Nolan on the journey back on the ‘red eye’ flight, unraveling a web of mysteries and deceit onboard.

As the first episode aired on Sunday evening, audience members were swift to point out the lack of attention to detail in the plot, particularly revolving around the spontaneous and flawed extradition method employed for Dr Nolan, devoid of legal representation.

Several viewers took to social media platforms, questioning the series for disregarding extradition laws and procedural rights of individuals, terming the narrative preposterous.

Despite the gripping drama, some viewers found it challenging to immerse themselves fully due to the lack of legal credibility within the storyline.

TV critic Nick Hilton noted that ‘red eye’ typically signifies short-haul flights departing at night and landing in the morning, presenting an inconsistency in the context of the Heathrow to Beijing route taken in the show, spanning a significant period.

He concluded that despite being marginally watchable, ‘Red Eye’ is overwhelmingly ludicrous in its execution.

The series continues to air on ITV1 and ITVX, captivating audiences with its blend of conspiracy and intrigue.
