Like Industry (another HBO show), it’s just hard to enjoy a show when absolutely none of the characters are even remotely likeable. There is not one person in this show I was rooting for (except maybe Nicole, simply because of her crazy, unappreciative, and disrespectful family). Shane, the two teenage girls, and the mentally unstable woman with her mother’s ashes were unbearable to watch. Everyone seems to think that Belinda is a good character, and while I did feel bad for her at the end, she had selfish intentions like almost everyone else.
Other than the characters, the plot line was almost nonexistent, there were a million lengthy and unnecessary scenes of ocean water paired with annoying music, and the ending was very unsatisfying. Also, there was an extremely gross scene in the last episode (I doubt that I need to clarify, but it was the one involving a suitcase). The only thing that kept me watching was because I was curious to see how Rachel and Shane ended up and I did want to find out which character died. Overall, I was not a fan of this show.
