El barco

The writers of this serie are the dumbest people ever....Such an amazing beggining but then looks like their lack of imagination took them to common soap opera path of dealing with the same stupid issue for more than two (2) seasons with the killer of the boat....and to make it worst they finally put together the best couple of the boat to break the relationship in in one stupid episode...No imagination at all and situations happen with no common sense at all either...Very sad that some people get the chance of their lifetime and throw it in a garbish-can in a blink of an eye...

And I did so, because being Spaniard, I really wanted it to do well, and I really wanted see something spectacular, as the theme is innovative. My bigger disappointment is with the writers, since in any episode that you may watch, suddenly they insert romantic scenes that are absolute "ludicracy" and spoils the thrill that could've been created, if any. Some times it seems they've run out of budget, others of ideas, qui lo sa! I am in my 70s, and besides being myself a writer, I have been divorced, widow and separated, thus, I know what I am talking about romance. The only part and actor wordy of congratulations is "Burbuja", Iván Massagué really plays not just the most difficult role of them all, but masterly, and all he does has its logic to be. So, if you are bored and have nothing else in view, watch it, if not... go for better winds. Blessings! ClearDawn*

Thought it was very good. Didn't care for the silly romantic scenes, Salomie using the word Carina, honey in almost every sentence, her match making efforts, trying to get everyone paired off, just seemed too much emphasis. She acted too much like " Goody Two-Shoes" Instead of working together they were too much involved in hook ups. They must've had stock in Coke , always drinking it, just seemed unreal. Too much emphasis on Valeries fantasy land. In general I liked it and would recommend.

Loved the first season, even with its over abundance of telenovela melodrama, but the series started to falter halfway through the second season. Most of the characters and writing weren't interesting enough to maintain interest across several episodes. They started getting redundant, some subplots about relationships carried on way too long, and the day-to-day issues they had to face were just monotonous. Walking Dead has the exact same issues, yet for some reason that clunker is still on the air.

The Boat should have focused more on the science fiction aspect of it and wrapped it all up by end of season two (same with Walking Dead BTW). I stuck with it through season three but it was obvious the writers had run out of ideas. The cheap cliffhanger they threw in during the last episode was just weak too.

If you want to see this, just watch season one and skip the rest. First season also has some interesting scenes with female nudity which vanished in later seasons.

Only two characters totally worth watching: Burbuja and Salome
