This time around:
Two hapless robbers try to recover their stolen money after their plane crashes in the sea.
Captain Thorpe has a mid life crisis.
Gail wants to take Hobie to Ohio with her. But might she and Mitch be getting back together? That's what they've led Hobie to think.
The Buchannon stuff ends up being the main plot, when you initially think it will be the robbers. This is actually not bad as far as genuine solid drama goes. The three leads do try hard and elicit some decent emotion as a result.
But as oft what does slightly spoil this is changing tones. It doesn't handle them too well. The robbers work by virtue of being hapless not humorous. The Captain Thorpe stuff is played too much for laughs though, and gets very annoying when he's annoying Shauni and Eddie. Plus it really can't balance drama and humour in a montage and drama moment in the final third.
But all in all, has some good bits. So not bad.
Very little Jill. Again No Gina. No Trevor either.
