The final episode ruins the whole series.Nothing gets answered although there's teasing about 'the truth' of what's really going in every episode.When one of the sub plots of who the murderer is gets revealed,it's really lame and nothing more than a cop out.The final scene makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and as far as i know there's no season 2.It's very,very, slow with very little is happening from episode to episode but one keeps watching to find out the ending,which simply is a complete let down.

I've given this series one star for Elizabeth Debicki's haircut, and 1 for the scenery/filmography. Otherwise, its an utter waste of time. Entices you with the first 2 episodes, bores you with the next 3, and from then on its just a complete disappointment until you get to the finale, which you won't even realise is the finale until you check IMDb. Cannot think of a single mystery/teaser raised during the series (and there were many) that was in anyway resolved. Acting is good but none of the characters behave in a relatable or even rational manner.

I can't believe I just wasted 8 hours of my life getting to the end of this sick excuse for a story. Except for the lead character -- whose idea of acting was to walk around with a daze expression on her face-- the performances were passable. Much of the scenery in the rain forest was beautiful. But any merit this series would have had was destroyed by the writers utter ineptitude. They/he/she (the writers) switch scenes non-stop with scores of nonsensical mini- cliffhangers which are either left unresolved or answered with a trivial plot turn. Based upon the high ratings I can only assume that vested interests have stuffed the ballot box. This writing is soooo weak, so utterly lacking in the ingenuity that it takes to weave a story line and close the arc of a narrative, that it has left me wishing I had bailed out in episode 1 and wondering how a script such as this could ever get brought to the screen. Am I naive to think that writers should have higher standards and stronger work ethic? And that producers should have more common sense? Oh that my ranting would bring back my 8 hours. The horror, the horror....

I was instantly captivated by the other-worldly scenery that starts with the very first shot of this series and continues throughout the series. My hopes were elevated to stratospheric heights by this unparalleled eye-candy but problems soon developed when it became apparent that the creators were trying to essentially stuff episodes with what was really a very uncomplicated & unimaginative story- line. As a result the writing is forced, dialogues all follow a pattern in which something says something slightly tantalizing & then deliberately breaks off, just so that the show can be dragged on. Ultimately this show tests viewers patience and I realize that there may be many who will pass this test and not mind. However, if nothing else this series proves that mere eye-candy is nothing compared to great writing. it is writing that is the heart & soul of any great TV show & this one just does not have it, only drags on & on so that the set number of episodes can be filled up with endless, pointless, distracting fluff that grinds along.
