Red Eye is currently streaming in Australia on Stan, and in the US on Hulu, and its case-by-case structure never gets in the way of the bigger story. The 2-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 118 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Jing Lusi's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Stan.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Red Eye earns its spot. The plotting in Red Eye is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. London police officer DC Hana Li is escorting Dr Matthew Nolan back to Beijing where he has been accused of a crime. However, on board flight 357, she finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy and a growing number of murders. Jing Lusi and Martin Compston lead a cast that never lets the mystery feel thin. 2 seasons (2024–2026) gave the story room most shows never get. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — Red Eye passes that test consistently. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Red Eye will keep you hooked. The tonal similarities to Departure are real, though Red Eye carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Watch Jing Lusi work — it is a masterclass in the genre. Few crime dramas earn their twists this consistently.

Red Eye is currently airing new episodes, created by Peter A. Dowling — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
