Episode 3 leaked early, supposed to have good ending

I saw the leak, so check Imdb for review: https://www.imdb.com/review/rw5449905/?ref_=tt_urv

Sometimes (I mean most of the time) the show couldn't decide if it is trying intentionally to be a comedy, or just happen to be comedic in a serious situation. The filming style suggests a documentary/thriller seriousness, yet the dialogues are full of contrived humour that doesn't feel "real". The jokes are not earned, and the pacing feels wrong.

The conclusion of episode 3 sets a tone for one direction this show could/should have headed: Dead funny in a dire situation. If the (film) crew could find their footing, this show might yet be worth watching. But damage has been done.

The reason I'm not ready to totally throw in the towel is I think several reviews had said it found its way after around the 3rd ep.
I'll see what the consensus after that.
