Keep Breathing

The acting is quite good and the series could have been much better without the flashbacks. %80 of the scenes are pointless flashbacks which bores one to death. I have just finished episode 3 and I am already thinking of quitting.

Started out promising but by episode 2 I found myself fast forwarding the flashback garbage and just watching the "surviving" the wilderness bits and even those were pretty rubbish. This could have been a very good series if it had focused on the survival outdoor aspect of it, but the constant flashbacks totally destroyed it for me. By episode 3 I just got bored with it. Cant be bothered watching any more of it. Netflix has seemed to be travelling on a downhill spiral lately with their below average offerings.

The reason why a lot of people didn't like this series is because they thought it would be a show about a woman surviving in the wilderness. That's it. But the real survival is the one she struggles with inside, and every event that happens in the wilderness plays a part in her letting go and getting through her trauma from childhood to adulthood. There are a lot of flash backs. But it's vital to why she keeps waking up each day and pushes through to keep alive.

First it's about being tough.

Then it's about finally freeing yourself of the pain you hang on to.

And also: The videography and scenery are beautiful. The music on point. It was a gorgeous show that deserves more than the low reviews. Don't be afraid to watch it- you might cry like I did at the end.

Melissa Barerra is great. The scenery is great. Everything else? Not so much. The writing is sketchy and inconsostent and the boyfriend is annoying. Some parts seem to drag and drag and drag and other parts feel so rushed. This could have been really great with some better writers and direction. Too bad.

Way to many flashbacks! I mean, it just does not move forward. Both actresses are good but the boyfriend makes you want to go to sleep. The place is beautiful and the series starts promising but the it goes back and forth for ever...
