A very odd production that for various reasons seems to try a little too hard at being mysterious and stylish. Sadly it flops. I must add the caveat I only made it as far as episode 4 before I gave up. I didn't really consciously stop watching it, there were just more entertaining dramas available.
I like a whole range of dramas from your X Files type mysteries through to humorous odd productions like The Gentlemen and I don't mind having to think about what's going on.
Passenger however doesn't really hit the mark for any genre and is too much like hard work to really enjoy .
There's some bizarre things that just leave you wondering "why?" good example is they're all driving cars from the 1980s or theabouts yet using smartphones whilst there's not a computer in sight. I'm sure there's an answer buried later on but I lost the will to sit it out to see if that answer was actually there .
To be fair it is engrossing for a couple of episodes until holes appear in the road yet the mysterious part isn't played out well and just plods along .
Not for me though I appreciate some will immerse themselves in it .
