Review based on the pilot episode.
I enjoyed watching this. The premise is interesting and the execution is quite good. The story didn't feel forced and the characters seemed realistic. The acting and camera-work was alright, nothing special but also good enough not to spoil anything.
The biggest complaint I have is about the few scenes that seemed too coincidental. Helicopters coming exactly at the right time (later explained though), nuclear explosion just as the ship was passing and the random cruise ship drifting by exactly when needed. While coincidences happen, too many of them destroy the realism of a show. I hope the producers realise this.
I will surely watch the next episode. With some polishing, this show can definitely be something to look forward to.
Edit after episode 3: Most of the coincidences were explained and the action scenes were toned down to be more realistic. This show is worth watching.
