This episode is an excellent psychological horror drama and suspenseful exercise in existential story-telling. The improbability of an empty airliner arrival along with various interpretations of the meanings and causes adds to the tension throughout. The ending is completely unexpected but ultimately not surprising based on the unfolding mental state of the main character. "The Arrival" is often negatively reviewed and underrated mostly because it's not formulaic science fiction and not well understood. It's a superb drama revealing the deviations of the mental state of mind told in a well-written and acted horror story.
