Welp that was a boring waste of a few hours. Nice scenery there in the woods but that was about it.
Don’t waste your time.

Yeah, I made it through...with a lot of scrolling.

It started off looking OK, but got too distracting with the constant daydreaming. If it were just the story of a hot girl stranded in the Canadian wilderness it would have been a lot better.

You beat me to it. I was going to post the same kind of review. This is 3 hours I wish I had back. The premise sounded really good.

But the flashbacks started as 10% of the episode and by the end of the series accounted for 90% of the episode. When your main character isn't very likable and every third word from her is the F bomb - perhaps you need a new screenwriter.

It simply amazes me how many in-house productions that Amazon and Netflix have come out with that are really poorly written. It's like they skip the story pitch phase where the material might get critiqued and improved and go right to casting and shooting.

Again - if your outdoor survival adventure has more scenes of a couple having a tense argument at the office than it does of survival problems and solutions - perhaps you need to rethink it.

Yeesh.

My wife and I watched it. Meh. I wish I had my time back.

Every time she seemingly did something somewhat intelligent (her resourcefulness, making a plan to self-rescue, etc,) she would do something amazingly stupid to ruin it. Then, she just plain old gets lucky and is found by fishermen. Wow, screenwriters, what a great story. Roll Eyes

My wife was not impressed when I told her I was cheering for the bear.
