This is a low budget, poor movie that would have gone straight to video or DVD back in the day. Other than the two leads, the acting is bad and the script is awful. Honestly, the only character I cared about was the bus, which took a beating and kept on running. The only reason I stayed to the end because was to see Liam's character stay in Nepal and to take over the Kiwi Express bus. They couldn't even do that right.

No cable but purchased the first episode to see what this was about. Well, still no one has ever been able to create a successor to "The Love Boat," which is Shakespeare compared to this dreck. The actors have zero chemistry and are unlikeable. Like so many modern shows, the pacing is on crack. We move from scene to scene so quickly, with no chance for characters to be properly developed or an actual plot to progress. And, sadly, the ship that should be a character in its own right looks fake and AI and there is nothing about this show that generates any interest in cruising or visiting any port of call referenced. I was willing to fork over $30 for a season pass to a light-hearted, fun show set on a cruise ship and featuring exotic locales but, I am one and done.

Confused as to why we aren't following the story of the little son, John, from 1883. Why are we being introduced to a new Dutton from Ireland? I don't care about any of the characters. Too many and none are distinct. The setting makes such a strong impact in Yellowstone but is forgettable here. Painfully dull with three competing narratives with no connection between the storylines. As others have noted, this is strongly reminiscent of Legends of the Fall, a movie which I never cared for. Two episodes in and I don't have any idea what the main storyline is or who we're supposed to care about. I'll stick to Tulsa King.

Update 2/19/23. God-awful. The depravity of most of the characters is beyond belief. When it's not violence porn it's boring. Is TS such a golden boy that nobody is speaking up and telling him this is terrible?
