Survive (2020)
7/10
One of the better Quibi shows

I think technically, "Survive" is supposed to be one of the 'movies in chapters', but you get the gist. While some of the logic is silly, (The character of Paul really just trips and falls completely off a cliff?? And why does Jane spend all of six seconds flailing around in the river after she's walked all that way?) it feels pretty fleshed out as a plot line, and pretty cohesive in general, as entertainment. Most of the logic goofs, I can explain away but they do catch one off guard a bit. Sophie Turner is a little bland in spots, but overall, she delivers a solid performance. Corey Hawkins, as Paul, is really good as well. For a total of 12 episodes, "Survive" does seem rushed. They could've easily added two more episodes and then not had the characters jumping from one deadly obstacle to the next; but then, maybe that wouldn't give the right suspenseful feeling. The ending, while a bit cliched, really ties things together well. I think this is one of Quibi's better offerings so far!
