Respire!

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.

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 show isn't just about surviving in the wilderness, it's about surviving life in general. There are plenty of reviews saying how disappointing it is that there is too much flashback and not enough of the surviving in the outdoors. They are missing the point. During a tough physical experience in the wilderness our protagonist searches the trials and tribulations of her past. It's well done, nice acting, thoughtful and thought provoking. Don't tune in if you are only looking for macho survival.

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.

Way to many flashbacks! I mean, it just does not move forward. Both actresses are good but the boyfriend makes you want to go to sleep. The place is beautiful and the series starts promising but the it goes back and forth for ever...
