No Escape

Two girls run away escaping the reality of what they had done.

They come across a yacht, found some fun with a bunch of random party individuals who were also escaping their own issues.

The group, by chance, or maybe not by chance, come across a boat, and find something particularly of interest to all.

They all come to an agreement about their new findings and set sail to continue their journey of island hopping.

Their new found items start to cause issues amongst them all, ultimately destroying trust, and disconnecting friendships.

As the story progresses, they run into issues on land, and at sea.

The plot thickens as some individuals attempt to change their circumstance, by escaping. However, this becomes terrifying to some.

The situation turns nasty, and some people's lives become at risk.

Not all is who you think they are.

I found much in No Escape to be well done: acting, cinematography, etc. The story was fast-paced and obviously compelling enough to motivate me to watch the entire series. It was also nice to travel around on a yacht and see gorgeous scenery. The last film I recall with such breathtaking yacht views was Plein Soleil/Purple Noon (starring Alain Delon), which is set in and around the Mediterranean sea. The setting of No Escape is mostly on the seas around the Philippines, Bali, and Australia. There were a few implausibilities, but my only major complaint is that the final episode jams a bunch of gratuitous nonsense in at the very end (the curve ball about the rivalry between the brothers, etc.). All of that was totally unnecessary and in fact diminished the overall value of the work. Sometimes less is more!

No escape is a Gripping drama set on a yacht, my wife and I binged it in a few days and we where on the edge of our seats! Spectacular performances from all the young leads, especially Sean Keenan as Denny. I also thought the directing was spot on across the board with a beautiful setting, (we would love to visit all of the locations!) I enjoyed all of the mystery's and twists throughout the show. I particularly enjoyed the incredible cinematography of the various tropical islands. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a tense drama. If there was a second season we would definitely tune in!

Hooked after the first 10 minutes of the first episode. Cannot praise the cinematography and ambience enough. Its a very scenic drama.

Of the main yatch crew there are a few moments I thought certain characters were sadly overshadowed development wise, which is a shame as they all are acted great. The mystery behind the drama itself was very twisty the first 4 episodes, but gets obvious pretty quickly in the latter half where you're basically left waiting for the finale to play our predictably. On balance a tremendous endeavor, and a show I'd recommend.

Not one for the seasick mind you, but the bouncing around does add to the great atmosphere. Its definitely on my top 10 list of recommended tv shows for the first half of this year.

Or "How to ruin an idyllic life by allowing total strangers onto your yacht" ... like we all would, right? Completely implausible story involving a bunch of totally unlikeable characters. No rhyme or reason to what they do, apart from prolonging the agony of this show. Cannot recommend, unless you really have nothing better to do with your time.
