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%.

Two girls run away escaping the reality of what they had done.

They come across a yacht, found some fun with a bunch of random party individuals who were also escaping their own issues.

The group, by chance, or maybe not by chance, come across a boat, and find something particularly of interest to all.

They all come to an agreement about their new findings and set sail to continue their journey of island hopping.

Their new found items start to cause issues amongst them all, ultimately destroying trust, and disconnecting friendships.

As the story progresses, they run into issues on land, and at sea.

The plot thickens as some individuals attempt to change their circumstance, by escaping. However, this becomes terrifying to some.

The situation turns nasty, and some people's lives become at risk.

Not all is who you think they are.

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.

My friend suggested this one to me, and she was totally right. It started out as a bit of a slow burn, intriguing, had me guessing, but then it became incredibly suspenseful as it went along. The last two episodes are so tense, I was absolutely on the edge of my seat.

I would definitely recommend this show, particularly if you like thrillers, mysteries and exotic settings. Good performances, solid direction, and one or two twists that really took me by surprise. Okay, I guessed one of the twists, but it didn't effect my enjoyment at all. I hope there's a second season because I would definitely come back for more.

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!
