The series mixes a number of genres that don't normally go together, but it keeps just the right side of the ridiculous line to be entertaining and rewarding. Initially I focused on how stupid the lead characters were particularly Samuel and Janet who kept on behaving like idiots presumably for some dramatic intent. He was a lawyer in a previous life, and you would've expected him to be thinking through the logical next steps, and not panicking like a teenager. And shrieking.
The lead characters histrionics nearly sunk the Boat!
However, by episode 3 or 4 the characters are developed in such a way that you start to care for them and you can see the interactive dynamics and some of the parts start to become enjoyable and rewarding to watch to the end.
Suitably different to many other programs. This is to be commended for its originality, and ultimately, it was a really enjoyable watch.
Trust the journey and the effort watching past, episode three is worth the investment of time. Well done BBC. I'd rate this an 8 but other reviews were a bit mean so I give it an extra star!
