No Escape

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!

No escape is a Gripping drama set on a yacht, my wife and I binged it in a few days and we where on the edge of our seats! Spectacular performances from all the young leads, especially Sean Keenan as Denny. I also thought the directing was spot on across the board with a beautiful setting, (we would love to visit all of the locations!) I enjoyed all of the mystery's and twists throughout the show. I particularly enjoyed the incredible cinematography of the various tropical islands. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a tense drama. If there was a second season we would definitely tune in!

Hooked after the first 10 minutes of the first episode. Cannot praise the cinematography and ambience enough. Its a very scenic drama.

Of the main yatch crew there are a few moments I thought certain characters were sadly overshadowed development wise, which is a shame as they all are acted great. The mystery behind the drama itself was very twisty the first 4 episodes, but gets obvious pretty quickly in the latter half where you're basically left waiting for the finale to play our predictably. On balance a tremendous endeavor, and a show I'd recommend.

Not one for the seasick mind you, but the bouncing around does add to the great atmosphere. Its definitely on my top 10 list of recommended tv shows for the first half of this year.

Kids partying on a boat what could go wrong? Donkey Punch was the last party boat film I saw but this mini series is way more serious than that.

All the acting was on point from all characters apart from maybe Kiffy. She just annoyed me. But then is that her good acting?

Anyway cliche get on a boat find a shed load of money just floating, beggar off with it and deal with the fall out. Although the fall out is absolutely might and whilst I figured out what had happened with three episodes to go it was still an entertaining watch. The back story to why the money is floating randomly is absolutely brilliant and I never would have guessed that in a million years.

Well worth the binge and definitely more realistic than Donkey Punch.

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.
