Interesting premise, well-acted but suffers from long format - this is NOT a five-season story. If they try to keep that cadence it will spiral off into Lost crappery.
This would have been a really tight 120-min movie that asked a "what happened to these girls?" question for two acts and really explored what it means to be civilized and how survivors deal with re-integrating into the civilized world after being torn from it, but the side trips and "featured performers" will drag this into "Is that still on?" distraction at its current pace (don't say Walking Dead, don't say Walking Dead).
Streaming services hunger for content is dragging short-form pieces like this into long-form drudgery.

Get your mind out of the gutter - these two ladies aren't going to take it off for your premium cable viewing pleasure like Cinemax soft-core stars.
They're just a couple of beautiful women looking to break out of that mute object of desire/rescue/affection model by doing a fun Bridesmaids/Girls Night/Sweetest Thing misbehaving ladies comedy so there's poop jokes and simu-sex a la Melissa Rauch in The Bronze.
You get some watchable chemistry between Kate and Alexandra and Matt Jones adding some fun - it's good to see Badger getting work.
Check it out - some laughs and there's a couple of cheesecake scenes but not going to need any blurring in the cable version - R is for language and drug use.

You know the story, and it doesn't matter all that much if you don't. Tacky effects, great scenery - Hawaii gorgeous as always, hot actresses and actors with serviceable acting ability and that guy who was in that thing that one time many years ago.
The only thing that keeps this from being an actual Sedaris movie is the absence of Andy or his son from the producer list and the lack of nudity since this is basic cable broadcast. The production companies should make these shows in dual-format for Syfy (who tragically lost their spell checker some years ago) and for Showtime or Cinemax.
The effects are really bad, I mean REALLY bad but the acting is OK and movies like this keep the majority of Hollywood in business, plus at least these actors got a trip to Hawaii, so I will give it a thumbs-up. Check it out.
