Respire!

The reason why a lot of people didn't like this series is because they thought it would be a show about a woman surviving in the wilderness. That's it. But the real survival is the one she struggles with inside, and every event that happens in the wilderness plays a part in her letting go and getting through her trauma from childhood to adulthood. There are a lot of flash backs. But it's vital to why she keeps waking up each day and pushes through to keep alive.

First it's about being tough.

Then it's about finally freeing yourself of the pain you hang on to.

And also: The videography and scenery are beautiful. The music on point. It was a gorgeous show that deserves more than the low reviews. Don't be afraid to watch it- you might cry like I did at the end.

Outrageous survival story that leads to a strenuous and confusing self-discovery trip.

The survival elements are mostly completely unrealistic and hair-raising. Many details are so outrageous that one wonders who writes such screenplays without blushing... Lots of boring flashbacks are used to fill the running time and inflate the thin story.

Melissa Barerra is great. The scenery is great. Everything else? Not so much. The writing is sketchy and inconsostent and the boyfriend is annoying. Some parts seem to drag and drag and drag and other parts feel so rushed. This could have been really great with some better writers and direction. Too bad.

This started out good and exciting but got so boring with the depressing flashbacks and her horrible attitude. I would have enjoyed the survival part of it so much better than boring boyfriend flashbacks.

I was really looking fwd to this after seeing it pop up on Netflix. The 1st four episodes were great, fifth and sixth really annoyed me, way too many flashbacks! Could have been great, sadly I was disappointed.
