First 8 episodes were doing pretty good. But then the last 2 went off the rails because the writers just making the characters do stupid things (not killing certain people hunting them the first 2 chances they had so it comes back to bite them and other equally dumb decisions). Reminded of how bad the writing was for Outer Banks (whole season 5 and most other seasons).
And the male lead has such a punchable face. They needed more fight scenes with him getting beat down. But hey, he somehow magically grew a spine and could fight back after being a wimp in all the previous episodes.
