What would have been a delightful discovery late night on Channel 4 seemed a little lost at sea on the oceanic expanse of the UGCs flagship THX certified screen 10.
Perhaps because I have spent so much time bobbing about in shark infested waters that I didn't find this terribly involving. I'd like to think I would know what to do in that situation, so the gimmick didn't really have that much impact on me. Then again, I suppose it is easier to be stoic when you yourself are warm and dry and safe
I was buoyed at the prospect of trickles of back story being revealed as our forlorn pair go through the denial / anger / pleading / depression / resignation stages, but the dramatic opportunities of some decent ad lib setup seemed derailed by the lack of character background. I take the point that stripped of their day to day identities they are mere animal specks on the face of existence, but I just needed more to keep me engaged.
Diverting but ultimately waterlogged.
