Turismo Selvagem

I watched the whole series so, in my book, that means its worth at least 5*. Im giving it 6 because the story was really quite interesting, I just think the jump from great screen play to film didnt pan out as well as it could. A lot of people are giving low stars because of their expectation this should be a thriller, but its really a character study. Thus the slow pace, setting each mood - which could have been done more effectively because I do agree it felt more like bad pacing at times. People who didnt like the dialog at the end had missed the point of the film.

Im torn between leaving it at that and explaining for those who were unable to follow the film. But if they could not wrap their head around it on film, my explaining might be even less useful.

I think I might have a leg up on some since I did study psychology, but I dont think its really that out of reach for the majority. I think a lot of reviewers are just here to give accolaids to Jenna, and watching a film just because of an actor doesn't mean you will understand the story. All actors did a great job with what they were given. However, the music left a lot to be desired - a little variety would have been more meaningful whereas this same songstress (?) over and over made me ff a few times.

What it is not: this is not mail baching (mispelling to avoid driggering the auto bot). It always surprises me when men see a film about an arrogant dangerous man and think that revealing his shortcomings is baching. If they identify with Will, I would say they have some issues with understanding how normal men act.

Also just want to point out, while I do tire of the qay theme in so many modern shows, here it actually goes well because its not unusual for a strait person to be pursued by someone qay and mistake it for friendship, especially someone lonely and socially maladapted as Liv.

I also got really fed up with hearing the name so frequently - Liv. Please dont write a screen play forcing the partner to repeatedly say the mates name 5 x in every scene; or if you do please make it an actual name rather than an adjective. Imagine a film where someone's nicname is Jump or Duck. Very confusing and annoying.

Many complain that, despite the title, the film only took place in the wilderness for a short time. I would suggest being more open minded to what the title is trying to tell you. This goes for any film but in this instance I think the title is identifying how lost this couple was in life and was just an ironic title.

For me, this was a solid story that could have been done better but still worth the watch.

If the music in the series is typical of the music, younger generations are listening to these days it goes along way in explaining why the younger generation are so screwed. This is some of the worst music I have ever heard in my entire life, all packed into one series, I'm halfway through the series and even though it's not bad I'm almost ready to pack it in because I can't take another crappy song. I guess I will keep watching though, as I am also interested as to how long it takes for the wife to toss her azzwhole husband to the curb. I would've done it before the end of the first episode.

I dont understand all the negative reviews. I've seen worse mysteries. The acting was good. The storyline was engaging & took some turns you dont always see in this genre. I like that each episode had a surprise end which made you want to watch the next episode because you just had to find out what happened. The depiction of what happens to a marriage when trust is broken was very realistic. I found it very believable as to how Liv keeps getting drawn in, as that IS what happens when you really love someone. However, there were some plot flaws. The red jacket for one. Police would have found that right away. The script for Will was very boring. He says the same apology over & over again. Poor writing on that one. The ending was cringe worthy. But that's what a " thriller" is supposed to do.

So much time wasted filling out the six episodes. Why? How much time can you waste watching a car drive down a highway? Or waiting, interminably, while characters pause, hem, haw, stumble through their lines? Endless pauses on faces, waiting for them to speak, sputter... or do something/anything!

I enjoyed it enough to watch all 6 episodes, but I lost track of how many times I sighed impatiently: "Would you just get on with it!" So much time wasted on unnecessary filler. If you don't have enough real guts of a story to fill 6 episodes, cut the number of episodes.

Some beautiful scenery, including the Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta and apparently scenes shot in Vancouver, BC. But there's only so much scenery I can enjoy while waiting for something to happen. Stuff DOES happen, and also two or three really preposterous scenes that jarred me out of the story while I thought how ridiculous/stupid/implausible the goings on were. Really knocked off a couple of points for those.

Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen played their parts well, especially Jenna who got more of a range with her character, while Oliver spends a whole lot of his time on screen snivelling.

I am not a fan of Claire Rushbrook who usually plays meek underdog types with no backbone, but this was a different kind of role for her - a horror of a mother. Although I suppose a lot of mothers, lacking self-awareness, do dreadful wrong in their efforts to be a "good mother".

I can't really recommend you spend 6 hours watching Wilderness, which means six hours with some rather sordid, self-serving, narcissistic, and pathetic people. But, hey, some viewers like that sort of thing!

I did not enjoy this series at all. It progresses slowly and lacks excitement. However, the lead actress delivers a commendable performance. Unfortunately, the storyline is cringeworthy and the detective's investigation appears amateurish. I cannot recommend investing your time in this TV series. For its weak storyline, slow pace, and unsatisfying ending, I would rate it 2/10 instead of 1/10, solely acknowledging the lead actress's talent. This series lacks depth and offers a distasteful representation of infidelity and the events leading up to a significant occurrence are objectionable. The writing and ending are both subpar. I strongly recommend against watching it.
