Killer Instincts

Many different boring plots, all disconnected and developing in random directions, make the show feel like a complete boring mess. Thailand looks like it's straight out of the One Night in Bangkok 1980s-sex tourist kind of disgusting Thailand. The characters are mostly extremely unappealing and uninteresting; some are just outright disgusting and redundant, with no emotional connection whatsoever. It's a painfully boring season, filled with meaningless small talk and random things happening between people-and in their personal lives-we couldn't care less about. The scenery, drama, and everyone's emotions all seem so exaggerated and forced.

Done watching the 7th episode and the preview of the final one. I think with all the build-up, the last episode might be really entertaining. This episode was quite interesting, but the problem is that many of the storylines they've been building up haven't led to anything yet.

The revenge someone wanted to take for a long time ended with just a push. The whole brother-brother angle wasn't even mentioned. The hotel staff, who was nervous about singing for so long and said so many lines about it, ended up singing for less than a minute, and the moment had no real importance. The date didn't feel much like a date either. Almost the same things are happening with the three women characters.

Gary's character has been turned into a mix of a pervert and a killer. And I don't really get why Belinda is so angry with Gary/Greg - she thinks he killed Tanya, but Tanya actually betrayed her badly and crushed her biggest dream, so it doesn't fully make sense.

Even with all these issues, the show still feels nice to watch. The actors and their characters are great, and the direction is amazing, but the screenplay could have been better. Anyway, I'm excited for the next episode - hoping for a crazy finale!

Another excellent episode with fantastic pacing between each character. It had visually stunning shots throughout the show, with short scenes portraying the Muay Thai fighting that would later become a focal point of the episode. Both the settings for the main story were intense, and I didn't know what direction characters like Rick or Gary at their respective houses would go. Even the ladies who have the most catty and boring story developing from the last couple of episodes were in tense fights with each other. I think this is setting up to be an epic finale, and I can't wait to watch it. 4/5 stars.

This episode is a tug-o-war between a killer instinct and enlightenment. This is established in the first 10 min with the muay thai fight montage which is later juxtaposed with the Buddha's speech.

This theme is later underlined by the Thai couple's date night conversation where ambition also comes into question.

We see characters come to this fork in the road-whether it's killing another person or bedding another man's woman-and having to make a quick decision.

While it may lack the spectacle fans anticipated, it was the best structured, thought-provoking episode of the season-setting up for a perfect finale.

That was a wild episode. It was nice to see things start to fall into place for our characters. I actually think Saxon has turned it around. At the start, he was so annoying, and now he feels like one of the only sane people in the show as his family is falling apart. Aimee Lou Wood steals the show as Chelsea, though I'm still not sure why she is so dedicated to Rick. It was nice to see her try and explain why she acts the way she does. And v and Saxon have great chemistry even if it is built on a rocky foundation. The three women's friendship is finally blowing up, and it's nice to see them being honest and not so fake with each other. I won't spoil anything, but this was a wild episode. These characters are so all over the place and are into some really weird stuff. This week, Charlotte Le Bon gives the WTF Speech. It's not as wild as Sam Rockwell's from 2 episodes ago, but the whole time she was talking, I was like, what? Also, this episode shows a lot of skin, so viewers beware. All in all, I enjoyed this episode, and I'm excited to see how it all ends.
