Wrecked (2016–2018)
7/10
A fun comedy that's good for some giggles but no gut busting laughs
30 August 2018
If you're someone who appreciates dark humour then I can definitely recommend this show to you. It features a cast of colourful and memorable characters whose reactions to the dramatic, dark and humorous twists of being stranded on an island never ceases to entertain.

A variety of topics are touched upon in this show, ranging from the serious to the downright hilarious, all of which never really feel "forced", are discussed only when necessary, and never dragged out to be long or boring.

Why a 7 and not a 10? Admittedly, this a show that's designed to push the envelope, especially with the quick pacing of the episodes and the occasional controversial topics that it discusses (e.g. Are you a bad person for killing someone who openly supports the prejudice and discrimination of an entire race of people but has otherwise committed no crime?). It never fully goes 'all the way' with these topics and never ends these discussions in a memorable, satisfying or comical manner, resulting in the occasional giggle as the joke is being delivered but a gratifying conclusion being quelled with predictable jokes, puns, or even nothing at all.

That being said though, the occasional flat delivery of jokes isn't enough for me to turn anyone away form this show. If you're interested in this show then I'd definitely recommend watching a few episodes.
