No Escape

It's become a norm where TV shows or mini series crawl at a snails pace and you wait until something finally happens, not here I'm afraid if that's what you're looking for.

It's a bit of a roller coaster ride let down by two main actresses as everyone points out - just bland acting the two main girls but the show has enough of good stuff to make up for it. Could have been great if the leads had more than was face/look/expression - sorry girls. Every scene this blank wide eyed stare that doesn't really say anything.

Give it a try, i'ts a great story that always leaves you wanting for more, binged on it a bit but im glad because that hasn't happened for a while.

All in all - Worth a watch 100%.

This is an ok watch but has way too many episodes, 4 or 5 would have been enough The writers somehow managed to pad it out into 7!

Yes the writers are trying to create a good back story so they've added lots of drama which you do have to keep track of, as the story goes back n forth There is plenty of detail but the layers of stories in this drama aren't believable at times.

None of the characters are really that likeable, and seem to have narcissistic personalities, all together on a boat in the Philippines.

If you are looking for something to binge watch on a Sunday, then this does the job but you are not going to lay awake thinking about it or the ending.

Not a bad attempt at a show just to much padding and could of been way shorter lost interest near the end but carried on just to complete it worth a watch if you like this kinda thing but not bing worthy as drags

Acting was ok I just feel the promo and the hype for this is not living up to expectation.

I found much in No Escape to be well done: acting, cinematography, etc. The story was fast-paced and obviously compelling enough to motivate me to watch the entire series. It was also nice to travel around on a yacht and see gorgeous scenery. The last film I recall with such breathtaking yacht views was Plein Soleil/Purple Noon (starring Alain Delon), which is set in and around the Mediterranean sea. The setting of No Escape is mostly on the seas around the Philippines, Bali, and Australia. There were a few implausibilities, but my only major complaint is that the final episode jams a bunch of gratuitous nonsense in at the very end (the curve ball about the rivalry between the brothers, etc.). All of that was totally unnecessary and in fact diminished the overall value of the work. Sometimes less is more!

Or "How to ruin an idyllic life by allowing total strangers onto your yacht" ... like we all would, right? Completely implausible story involving a bunch of totally unlikeable characters. No rhyme or reason to what they do, apart from prolonging the agony of this show. Cannot recommend, unless you really have nothing better to do with your time.
