Review of Survive

Survive (2020)
6/10
8-minute episodes that you can't watch on your TV
7 May 2020
And they make you pay for it too! Quibi has some money behind it and it will probably last, but Survive has to set the tone for this new "network," and they haven't done so yet. Users have voted this a 6, and I must concur. Apparently, this series (or rather a movie with an interruption every 8 minutes) is supposed to be about plane crash survivors, but early on it's about a suicidal drug thief who ditches her young sister. She isn't very likable. I guess we're supposed to feel for her and she'll turn into a hero? Eh. Maybe this would be better if we could watch it on a television, but Quibi's braintrusts decided to offer this on phones only. Also there are 2 entire episodes in the middle of this series that consist of the drug thief and the bossy stalker sitting in a cave talking. Talk about slowing down the action! (It's also a cliche because every Lost-in-the-woods story has the scene where they "just happen" to discover a nice warm hunting lodge or a convenient cave.)
