Oh boy it's kind of hard to explain. A comedian gets actors to practice things,like a rehearsal for an event. In this case he wants to improve airline safety because most accidents are because co-pilots don't speak up when there is a problem. So he invents ways to recreate those scenarios with actors and complete airport, real pilots and co pilots.
We see a real former aviation safety cobsultant and former safety board worker who has been trying to improve airline safety, a congressman, doctors and more, while we discover the pressure of pilots to never talk about their feelings for fear of losing their jobs. Pilots and copilots sit in silence before flights, it's crazy.
The series escalates with more elaborate and surprising reveals including a real contest and deals with rejection, autism, and the themes of dealing with a dovorce and being alone.
Its a comedy, its somewhat shocking, and it is entertaining while being a bit disturbing in many ways.
All to try and improve flight safety. For real.
