a surprisingly good series


Well directed - well shot, well acted and the script was all right.
It's not a common thing to see all of these factors align.
While Colin Farrell wasn't the lead nor the star of the show, he was barely recognizable - not just due to appearance, but also due to acting - which surprised the heck out of me.

All in all, highly recommended.

PS. Also, no wokeness in sight. In today's era of filmmaking, this is a rather uncommon attribute.

I have to agree with you. Very good miniseries indeed. I’m almost done watching it and to my surprise I don’t even want it to end yet. Feels a bit short, but only because it’s so good.
Oh, yeah and Colon Ferrell was great in it. He embodied that character so well that I was forgetting that it was really Farrell and not somebody else.

It was always watchable, but the first 3 episodes with tension slowly building on the boat was much better than the last 2 episodes which became quite surreal and dreamlike.

Criminally underrated series.
