I tried to like this show but it has it's flaws, was slow and all over the place. First, it got real old calling the MC a narcissist over and over again. Maybe it's just me, but saying it once jokingly is one thing, but I lost count how many times they kept called him that.

Then everyone kept giving him a hard time like he was being a jerk, they were so focused on their dream, but forgetting that he was forced into moving there, and didn't care about his lifelong dream. Making him do all the chores. I think that's incredibly wrong.

I also think the ending is lame. You have this whole buildup and then this other character from who's hardly in the show come up at the very end. You can't expect people to enjoy an ending when they haven't even gotten to know a character or seen the two interact much at all. The whole show was just weird and made no sense. Just a let down really.

Being a continuation from the series, I expected a lot more. The narration from a random character from the future was weird, made no sense, and threw the movie off. Tho the side story with the kid was emotional, too much time was spent on it. I would've liked to have gotten back story on Gilbert's survival, Violet tracking him down, their reunion and where they go from there. But he got maybe a few mins screen time, and the ending was dumb, which annoyed me. Before I found out Gilbert was the love interest, I was rooting for her and the guy in the comet episode. I cried, but it was a let down.

So, it wasn't bad, some good A-listers. But I've watched military movies with their fast solider talk that was easier to follow than this. The first half was pointless unless you understood what they were talking about, it was just all over the place. If they were trying to give quick backstories for workers, it was kinda cringy. The first half should've been the explosion and the second half the aftermath. The workers dealing with their injuries, the impact on animals, actions against BP. I like the movie and glad I finally watched it, but its not one I'll watch again. The Impossible (Tsunami), Greater (Arkansas Football) and My All American (UT Football) are real-life movies worthy of rewatching.
