As the title says, this concept had promise but a wholly predictable plot and totally obvious twists ultimately made this whole movie a pointless endeavour.
It was billed as a dark comedy but there was very few moments of actual humour - and unfortunately there was also very few moments of tension too.
The performances from the cast were good but I feel they were let down by the plot. It would have been so simple to address some of the issues but for whatever reason, this was not a priority.
The ending, like the vast majority of the other key moments, was so obvious that we guessed what was coming halfway through.
Disappointing.

In all honesty, I haven't watched a programme this bad since I had the misfortune of stumbling across the exquisitely awful Dead Hot.
So it came as absolutely no surprise that this was adapted from the same author's work by his daughter, who is making quite the career for herself adapting his crime novels.
The real crime is that Charlotte Coben continues to steal a living, bringing these absolutely dire productions to television. She must be stopped.
The 'big reveal' of each misguided twist and turn was truly more underwhelming and obvious than the last. What was clearly meant to be a thrilling mystery was primarily undermined by awful writing, which made every episode feel like it was being performed by the cast of Hollyoaks. Which is also criminal as Adeel Akhtar in particular is usually very good.
Don't be fooled! Hard avoid.

My word. What can you say about this absolute mess of a show? It starts off bad but it just continues to get worse... the story, the directing, the acting, it's just awful.
Why did they insist on the incredibly awkward flashbacks where actors were trying to play the past and present simultaneously? It just did not work at all.
And it all somehow sinks to new lows the closer it gets to the truly ridiculous conclusion, by which time the 'plot twists' are so painfully apparent that you're left wishing that everyone on the ship had died in the first episode and you were left watching an empty screen for ten hours, instead of following this absolute drivel.
The only interesting part was watching poor old Mandy give up after about episode seven as he realises what an error of judgement he has made by getting himself involved in such dross.
So so bad.
