No Escape

I found much in No Escape to be well done: acting, cinematography, etc. The story was fast-paced and obviously compelling enough to motivate me to watch the entire series. It was also nice to travel around on a yacht and see gorgeous scenery. The last film I recall with such breathtaking yacht views was Plein Soleil/Purple Noon (starring Alain Delon), which is set in and around the Mediterranean sea. The setting of No Escape is mostly on the seas around the Philippines, Bali, and Australia. There were a few implausibilities, but my only major complaint is that the final episode jams a bunch of gratuitous nonsense in at the very end (the curve ball about the rivalry between the brothers, etc.). All of that was totally unnecessary and in fact diminished the overall value of the work. Sometimes less is more!

This is an ok watch but has way too many episodes, 4 or 5 would have been enough The writers somehow managed to pad it out into 7!

Yes the writers are trying to create a good back story so they've added lots of drama which you do have to keep track of, as the story goes back n forth There is plenty of detail but the layers of stories in this drama aren't believable at times.

None of the characters are really that likeable, and seem to have narcissistic personalities, all together on a boat in the Philippines.

If you are looking for something to binge watch on a Sunday, then this does the job but you are not going to lay awake thinking about it or the ending.

Not a bad attempt at a show just to much padding and could of been way shorter lost interest near the end but carried on just to complete it worth a watch if you like this kinda thing but not bing worthy as drags

Acting was ok I just feel the promo and the hype for this is not living up to expectation.

My friend suggested this one to me, and she was totally right. It started out as a bit of a slow burn, intriguing, had me guessing, but then it became incredibly suspenseful as it went along. The last two episodes are so tense, I was absolutely on the edge of my seat.

I would definitely recommend this show, particularly if you like thrillers, mysteries and exotic settings. Good performances, solid direction, and one or two twists that really took me by surprise. Okay, I guessed one of the twists, but it didn't effect my enjoyment at all. I hope there's a second season because I would definitely come back for more.

Kids partying on a boat what could go wrong? Donkey Punch was the last party boat film I saw but this mini series is way more serious than that.

All the acting was on point from all characters apart from maybe Kiffy. She just annoyed me. But then is that her good acting?

Anyway cliche get on a boat find a shed load of money just floating, beggar off with it and deal with the fall out. Although the fall out is absolutely might and whilst I figured out what had happened with three episodes to go it was still an entertaining watch. The back story to why the money is floating randomly is absolutely brilliant and I never would have guessed that in a million years.

Well worth the binge and definitely more realistic than Donkey Punch.
