The Boat

I was hoping that this show would feature more amazing sci-fi scenes, but it is just a high school (or even junior high) romance series. The relationships between the characters are so boring and predictable. The young women are all worthless twits who base their reality on what man "likes" them.....maybe it 's just the translation, but the script is absurd. I am on the 3rd season and will watch to the end only because I have spent hours watching this....despite knowing that the dialogue and romance b.s. will be the highlights of this show. BAH!

After watching La Casa de Papel by Alex Piña, I was thrilled to find out that he previously did El Barco.

We started the series with much anticipation, the premise is about as good as it can be but after 5 episodes, reality step-in and I was starting to see what this whole series is about: a pseudo sci-fi meet colombian sunday drama gone bad.

The series had such a good premise and good start but soon after, it is clear that the writers had nothing going for it besides doing a bachelor party inside a ship with people that feels more like children than wannabe adults.

One of the worse things about this series is how they portrait the characters. They are all one-dimensional teens with emotional complexes. I am Argentinian and I know that Latin Americans are emotionals by nature but these guys/girls surpases even my wildest expectations. For no aparent reason, everyone is bound to yell at each other, scream and have sex like there is not reasoning behind it.

If this is what's left of humanity they should just sink the boat and be done with it. The level of stupidity is amazing. By the fifth chapter, the only real interesting character is Ulises. It's like he is surrounded by complete idiots that loves to insult him for no reason at all, even the captain.

To make matters worse, the screenwrite just love tits, there is no other way of saying it. The girls are lovely but they are too much PLAYBOY type to fit properly into their characters and they insist on showing up close up of their titties without much consideration. The make up make it much worse as they they all look like they came out of the styling room.

0 realism. This is not normal people, this are actors in a reality show. Bad escenography, bad sript, idiotic one-liners, unidimensional characters, playboy girls with excessive makeup, constant titties closups and dumb emotional reactions does not make for a good series. This is a crappy sunday telenovel disguised as interesting sci-fi drama.

I just can't believe the director is the same behind La Casa de Papel. This is insulting.

The writers of this serie are the dumbest people ever....Such an amazing beggining but then looks like their lack of imagination took them to common soap opera path of dealing with the same stupid issue for more than two (2) seasons with the killer of the boat....and to make it worst they finally put together the best couple of the boat to break the relationship in in one stupid episode...No imagination at all and situations happen with no common sense at all either...Very sad that some people get the chance of their lifetime and throw it in a garbish-can in a blink of an eye...

Only two characters totally worth watching: Burbuja and Salome

Loved the first season, even with its over abundance of telenovela melodrama, but the series started to falter halfway through the second season. Most of the characters and writing weren't interesting enough to maintain interest across several episodes. They started getting redundant, some subplots about relationships carried on way too long, and the day-to-day issues they had to face were just monotonous. Walking Dead has the exact same issues, yet for some reason that clunker is still on the air.

The Boat should have focused more on the science fiction aspect of it and wrapped it all up by end of season two (same with Walking Dead BTW). I stuck with it through season three but it was obvious the writers had run out of ideas. The cheap cliffhanger they threw in during the last episode was just weak too.

If you want to see this, just watch season one and skip the rest. First season also has some interesting scenes with female nudity which vanished in later seasons.
