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.

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 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.

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.
