The grittiness and acting are what kept me watching. But the writing…oh man. Extremely predictable, except for the absolutely garbage ending which made the entire plot pointless. Didn’t see that coming.
Sara begs Isaac to escort them across impossibly dangerous lands to get to her husband. Despite pleas from everyone to go elsewhere, Sara insists on reaching her husband. Isaac joins reluctantly because they’ll die without him, ultimately resulting in his death within 1 mile of the destination. Sara and party burn his body and then DECIDE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Just delete that scene and I’ll forgive you.
