Wreck : Croisière sanglante

Loved this series. A couple of things I loved:

• I love that it's a genre bending show: comedy, horror, drama in all one. And they are not afraid to really go there with each genre. The funny moments are really funny. The horror moments are gory. The dramatic beats are sincerely heartfelt.

• the gay and Asian representation. Who knew a UK BBC show would ever give us some much-needed representation and actually succeed? Vivian is delightful and we finally have a gay Asian love interest.

• the pacing is great - in six episodes there's a lot there but it's never overwhelming. I think this show deserves a second series.

If you're watching this thinking it's going to be a hardcore comedy then you're in for a disappointment. However, as a mystery thriller with horror and comedy elements then I really enjoyed it.

Six episodes was the adequate amount of time to introduce, investigate and resolve the case (but leave enough left to lead into series 2 which I am looking forward to).

The writer has also peppered the script with callbacks to famous films of the last 30 years, which is a fun little Easter egg to keep an eye on.

I wasn't really familiar with any of the cast beyond Liam from Ladhood, but they all played their parts well (even if you hated them).

Im not too sure where to start with this review. I pride myself in the ability to look at a cover art and tell everything thats going to happen in a series. However, that was not the case with this one. I saw most plot twists and surprises coming but it doesn't happen the way you think it would. That was a big plus for me.

I liked most of the characters. The big irish guy was pretty funny along with the short officer with the beard (even tho hes a bad guy). Karen was pretty funny and Vivian was bad ass. The main character was the only one that was meh, only because he was hella lucky.

It did leave a surprise cliffhanger that sets up season 2!

I started watching with low expectations, especially after reading a couple of reviews in here. I gave it a shot, and sure enough from the second episode in, I was hooked.

Granted, it is not the second coming, but it is a smart, well acted mystery story, with many twists and turns. I have to admit, the final revelation, caught me off guard, because I was expecting many things, but not this.

By the way, for the people who rant because this is tagged as comedy, and they didn't laugh while watching, please keep in mind that this is not a slapstick comedy. This is a dark comedy-mystery, with a lot of social undertones.

I binged watched the whole thing on a lazy Saturday, and I, personally, am thrilled that there will be a new season. Underrated little gem- give it a try!

This show is so insane. It fully leans into the embrace of what it is. A glorious irreverent, off the wall, totally bonkers and unpredictable schlock-fest.

It has humor, scares, gore, suspense, and plenty of Heart. You have characters you love, characters you love to hate, and characters you just hate.

There's something for everyone.

It has dark humor and it just absolutely goes for it with no holds barred.

I am So ready for a season 2! This one season can stand alone as a capsule but it stands ready for a season 2 also. It has twists and turns and character growth. I genuinely jumped a few times from suspense.

Very well done.
