    I didn't like a single character in this series which is sort of a stumbling block to enjoyment. The four protagonists are just too stupid, clueless, and whiny to care about on any level.The series begins at a snail's pace and then devolves into a completely absurd mess that makes no sense at all. Once again, my guess is that it was written by people who do nothing but watch TV. What were they looking for? A new version of Lost? The old version was stupid so that makes no sense. If you like watching four really stupid, really unlikeable guys doing ridiculously stupid things at every step in the narrative then this is for you. There is nothing along the lines of plot or character development in this series. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they worked without a script and just adlibbed every episode in real time.

    I wanted to like this. I was trying to find something to watch on my 4K TV and settled on this. I figured Belize is beautiful (as it turns out it is filmed in Puerto Rico), but still pretty enough. I have always found Billy Zane fun, so I have given it a try.The first episode was intriguing and well, there is some of the most graphic violence ever filmed, but these guys might be the dumbest, worst drivers in the history of the world. I am now seven episodes in and just want them all caught. I should be rooting for someone, but there is not a character to like in the bunch. I would add details, but I want to do this without spoilers. Just trust me, without the 4K filming, this has nothing to offer!

    The writers of this original series did an Awesome job! The suspense was at a rate that allowed me to continue watching through the entire season. I could not stop watching because I was too anxious to see how it was going to end. Drama, suspense with a pinch of comedy . . . WOW what a combination. I really hope the next seasons are just as great. The character's were designed in their own unique way to meet the plot to the story. The show literally had me on the edge of my seat. This one I will recommend for everyone I know. It is a must see and commend Amazon for presenting and hope to see more of originals to do just as good as Mad Dogs and Bosch. I just loved it!!

    I was so excited when I saw the promo for this series. It had everything I liked including remote, exotic location, great cast (love Steve Zahn), and a suspenseful plot.By episode 3 I thought WTF is this show? There is so much drawn out drama that is shoe-horned into the script. It's truly like a bunch of high school chicks who can't get anything done because of far- fetched, BS scenarios. If this series could just stick to the action and suspense plot it would be nice but dang! There will be an intense situation (on a boat) and then a quick shift to a past event that occurred that has NOTHING to do with the current situation and these 2 or 3 guys argue about the stupidest crap and I am left thinking, are these grown men or junior high girls? No straight guys in real life would ever spend more than 2 seconds discussing the drama and it feels very forced. That just ruined it for me. Next, there are many things that leave me thinking how the hell did the guys pull this task off. Knowing how to navigate through a jungle that sometimes seems like it's a 5 minute journey between the boat and home but the aerial shots make it seem like hours and miles away. Other times I feel like the same foot journey is miles long. And how the heck do they find the guys on the path in their vehicle? Can't figure it out and there are more instances like this.Third, the camera shots just seem unnecessary at times like the kid who just got a camcorder and does these crazy (unnecessary) shots which serve absolutely no purpose.Finally, I am so sorry to say but Michael Imperioli just looks odd. The best description is that he looks like an old Jewish grandma. It's bizarre and a tad unsettling.I think this series has great potential but it could either be 2 or 3 episodes long and eliminate all the fake, annoying drama which only slows the show down. Steve Zahn and Romany Malco really shine in this series and are the stars of the show.
