“Shipwreck”, starting from 22.2 all episodes on Hot VOD and NEXT TV, from 27.2 on Hot HBO, from 27.2 on Hot HBO
A young woman who is part of the entertainment crew on a cruise ship escapes from a man dressed as a murderous duck. When she runs out of escape options, she jumps off the ship. Three months after her disappearance, her brother Jamie joins the ship’s crew under a false identity in order to find out what happened to her. He quickly discovers that the ship is a drug-trafficking center and is run like a mafia, with two organizations controlling it and waging war among themselves: the ship’s officers, and a tough group of Filipinos living in the engine room. And on top of all of these is a serial killer in the form of that duck who goes around and kills people for no apparent reason.
The series is defined as a “horror comedy”. It has comedic elements here and there. There is horror in it – despite the blood that is spilled here and there – a little less, unless the horror refers to the quality of the setting. The ship sails in a completely waveless Photoshop sea. No wave foam, no cloud, no wind either – the smoke rising from the chimney is identical one to one to the smoke rising from the other chimney, and upright as if the air had frozen in the atmosphere motionless. And if you strain your eyes, you can also see the cracks in the cardboard used as the walls of the rooms.
But if you ignore all of this, and some stupid dialogues/monologues embedded in the script, the whole purpose of which is to burn air time in favor of filming another episode and the advertisements embedded in it, “Shipwreck” is a definitely likable series, harmless, doesn’t take itself too seriously, binge Totally, the horror embedded in it is nothing more than a light horror, worth it.
