Our son suggest we watch this, and I nearly didn’t make it through the first of 3 episodes because the writing is sooooo bad! But after a while it is like watching a train wreck, or a really bad horror movie. You just can't look away.
So the premise, also very bad, is tractor trailer load of bee hives gets in a traffic accident around LA and the hives are all broken up. And these hives are filled with KILLER BEES!! Now I am pretty sure that commercial beekeepers are not using killer bees in their hives, but it turns out that some commercial hives do get contaminated with africanized bees and the beekeepers then replace the queens...
So, these bees make several swarms and create all kinds of havoc. Including a swarm at maybe 8000 feet or so and a small twin engine airplane flies right through the center of it, INSTEAD of diverting to avoid it, as it was clearly avoidable to any sane pilot with half of his brain tied behind his back (just to make it even). The plane gets covered in bees and the pilot gets attacked, loses control, and pitches up directly into the cockpit of a commercial airliner.
The writing is bad. The show us so bad you almost can't look away. And their understanding of aircraft and aircraft operations is awful. The show is called 9-1-1 and it is on ABC. We watched it on demand but it is also streaming somewhere.
Maybe I am missing the whole point of the show and I am just a grumpy old man that hates everything and everyone. So take a look for your self and tell me this isn't the dumbest thing you've ever seen involving aviation, or firemen, or killer bees.
