Wilderness

So much time wasted filling out the six episodes. Why? How much time can you waste watching a car drive down a highway? Or waiting, interminably, while characters pause, hem, haw, stumble through their lines? Endless pauses on faces, waiting for them to speak, sputter... or do something/anything!

I enjoyed it enough to watch all 6 episodes, but I lost track of how many times I sighed impatiently: "Would you just get on with it!" So much time wasted on unnecessary filler. If you don't have enough real guts of a story to fill 6 episodes, cut the number of episodes.

Some beautiful scenery, including the Banff Springs Hotel in Alberta and apparently scenes shot in Vancouver, BC. But there's only so much scenery I can enjoy while waiting for something to happen. Stuff DOES happen, and also two or three really preposterous scenes that jarred me out of the story while I thought how ridiculous/stupid/implausible the goings on were. Really knocked off a couple of points for those.

Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen played their parts well, especially Jenna who got more of a range with her character, while Oliver spends a whole lot of his time on screen snivelling.

I am not a fan of Claire Rushbrook who usually plays meek underdog types with no backbone, but this was a different kind of role for her - a horror of a mother. Although I suppose a lot of mothers, lacking self-awareness, do dreadful wrong in their efforts to be a "good mother".

I can't really recommend you spend 6 hours watching Wilderness, which means six hours with some rather sordid, self-serving, narcissistic, and pathetic people. But, hey, some viewers like that sort of thing!

I did not enjoy this series at all. It progresses slowly and lacks excitement. However, the lead actress delivers a commendable performance. Unfortunately, the storyline is cringeworthy and the detective's investigation appears amateurish. I cannot recommend investing your time in this TV series. For its weak storyline, slow pace, and unsatisfying ending, I would rate it 2/10 instead of 1/10, solely acknowledging the lead actress's talent. This series lacks depth and offers a distasteful representation of infidelity and the events leading up to a significant occurrence are objectionable. The writing and ending are both subpar. I strongly recommend against watching it.

Why so dark?did someone forget to pay the electricity bill or something.

This badly lit drama/thriller thingy has its moments and most of them belong to Jenna Coleman Look i have to be honest, i found it kind of far fetched i mean what guy who had Jenna Coleman as his other half would seriously think about cheating on her?he would have to be clinically insane lol The story lurches on as we watch Jenna react to his cheating and plot her revenge 6 episodes seemed a bit of a slog to be honest, this could easily have been a more robust two hour job It does drag a bit,not enough to give it a say 3 star rating. And the people giving it 10?whoahh there, i mean it does not electrify in any sense to warrant that high a rating in my view.

The acting is fine and Jenna is easily the best thing about Wilderness. There seemed little chemistry between Jenna's character and the actor who played her other half.

The Ashley Benson character as the other woman seemed kind of flat to me, not really adding much punch to the overall production Some of it was silly, women are supposed to be nice but men are not says Jenna's character at one point, really?says who?i have never encountered that in life. Some of that stuff just seed like an add on for the right on people out there.

Watch Wilderness with an open mind, you may well get some thrills along the way, i have certainly seen worse, Jenna is a talented lady for sure, just dont expect too much from this series as a whole.

It felt like a bad mishmash of "You" and "Gone Girl," but it failed to capture the gripping storytelling of either. Despite its promising trailer, the series fell flat with its weak plot and repetitive scenes.

Oliver Jackson Cohen is unfortunately confined to a limited and one-dimensional character, playing the role of a twisted husband. Throughout the series, his character seemed to apologize and cry incessantly. I had hoped to see him in a more dynamic and diverse role, and Wilderness failed to deliver on that front.

I had hoped for an engaging and thrilling series, but instead, I got repetitive scenes. Save your time and find something else to watch.

Please note that this review is based on my personal opinion and preferences. Others may have different views on the series.

It was ok. Casual watch. I enjoyed the acting and the musical scoring. There were some scenes I just zoned out and didn't really pay attention to. I don't get the 1 star reviews, or some of the comments being left. I ended this series wondering if there's any originality anymore. This show reminded me of Gone Girl, You, and Gossip Girl (the cheeky narration) and all of those did very well.

I agree with the Featured Review - it could have been a movie. Would it have been a successful movie? Probably not but it would have found its niche group of fans.

Am I sorry I watched it? Noooo. Not at all. Will I recommended? To someone who needs a small time passer. Will I rewatch it? No.
