(7.5) Slower paced drama, not survival thriller.
I really feel the reviews knocking points off for the show not showcasing realistic survival situations need to be disregarded - this is a Netlifx original limited series, not Survivorman.
That being said, this is definitely not a show that will have you at the edge of your seat, white-knuckled in suspense. It's much more of a drama than a thriller.
It took me until the end of the show to realize that the survival part of things took a back seat to what I think was the main plot - Liv's struggle to overcome a childhood that forced her to put countless walls around her emotions.
I think the show did a pretty good job telling Liv's backstory, especially in only six episodes. That's actually what I enjoyed most about this show.
The show kept a slower pace throughout but it was consistent enough to hold me to the end.
And, like I mentioned earlier, this is not the show for someone looking for a survival thriller, but definitely give it a watch if you're down for a slower paced drama which happens to take place stranded in a forest.
