comment
It's nighttime in Brussels, and a plane is getting ready to depart on a redeye flight to Moscow. While the first few passengers trickle onto the plane, a jittery man begins overhearing stories of mysterious deaths on the other side of the world. He proceeds to swiftly disarm a nearby guard and barge into the plane. Once inside, he demands the co-pilot fly west because the sun's rays now wipe out any and all life they hit. The co-pilot and the helicopter pilot who fell into the cockpit are naturally not quick to believe the man screaming and waving a gun at people, or at least they are until they approach an Icelandic airport and witness the entire place is in utter chaos and disarray. The crew soon realize that the hijacker was telling the truth and are forced to cooperate to keep flying westwards at all costs.Into the Night is a 2020 apocalyptic sci-fi thriller Netflix series inspired by the Polish novel "Old Axolotl".The second season started streaming online on Netflix on September 8, 2021.In April 2022, Netflix has launched a Turkish spin-off series set in the same universe as "Into the Night" known as Yakamoz.S-245.

Multinational Team: The people inside the plane are Belgian (both Walloon and Flemish), French, Russian, African, Moroccan, Turkish and Polish, with some Brits joining later. It's a MAJOR source of conflict and leads to multiple deaths.

Heel–Face Door-Slam: See Accidental Murder above. By the time Terenzio tries to do something good, Sylvie has no faith he will actually do it because of his previous actions. The measures she takes to force him to follow through end up getting him killed.

 Into the Night / int_18aff462
comment
Artistic License – Biology: In episode 3, Zara says that her son Dominik has cystic fibrosis. She says that doctors originally thought it was lupus, and then claimed it was from her smoking, and that Dominik got the genetic disease from only his father. In the real world, cystic fibrosis affects the body's ability to digest, not just the lungs and would likely be picked up as such within a few weeks of a CF patient's birth, and requires both parents to be carriers of the gene or one parent to have the illness.

Blatant Lies: In the flashback that shows Mathieu cheating on his wife, his girlfriend hides quickly when his wife returns home unexpectedly, and Mathieu quickly agrees that he just woke up from a nap... while the girlfriend's clothes and shoes are scattered all over the floor in plain view. His wife looks at them pointedly and says she's going to go pick up some eggs and will be back in half an hour.

Sylvie leaves Terenzio handcuffed to a Dead Man Switch for an automatic gate with the key just out of reach, forcing him to wait for the second car of survivors to free him when they arrive rather than trusting him to perform the task out of altruism. The second group is forced to abandon the car and take an alternate route, which means he has no way to escape the sun.

Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: At the end, a character states they have been "running for [their] lives for the past week". Presumably the plane only flew only once around the world while keeping ahead of the rising sun, so presumably only one day had elapsed in the first season. Though in fairness, the characters didn't get much sleep and were recovering from various injuries.

The second group is forced to abandon the car and take an alternate route, which means he has no way to escape the sun. Part of Ayaz's backstory. He had a teenager smuggle diamonds in his stomach, who died because he didn't follow the safety precautions—but Ayaz still put the boy in that position and profited from the diamonds anyway, so he considers himself responsible.
