Review of Wreck

Wreck (2022– )
10/10
Fun and games aboard ship of nightmares!
19 December 2022
I think this is technically a teen show, similar to Sex Ed on Netflix, but it felt quite adult to me. I'm happy to hear it has a second series as it really found its feet by the end, in the most wonderful, surprisingly uplifting of ways. I have been off work sick and this show was surprising soul food! I loved it.

The series follows Jamie, played with real heart by Oscar Kennedy (who I also enjoyed in Schools Out Forever) looking for his sister, Pippa, who disappeared from the cruise ship she was working on. He infiltrates the crew and realises that something seriously f**cked up is happening on board. If I say any more, it'll spoil the many twists - this show had plenty! And the big final reveal was really shocking.

The acting, writing and directing were all top notch. It really did get better with each episode. It's a shame that the first ep might be the weakest of the six (although still very strong) and could potentially lose viewers, but I hope people stick with it, because it doesn't dissapoint.

Think Sex Edcuation meets Shaun of the Dead.
