Reef Break - General Discussion - Reef Break

I have to say I liked it. It kept my attention until the end, which is more than I could say for Grand Hotel and every other new show. I wanted a summer "drama" and this is the only one I kept watching 'til the end.

Sure, there are problems. Poppy went from looking young to looking like someone's gramma. Pretty, then not-so attractive. Like Seinfeld's Two-Face Woman. She wasn't built athletic like a world-class surfer, but I know nothing about that sport so maybe softer women with big boobs can surf the big waves. Who knows. I will be watching for a stunt switch out though. And I'm okay with that.

I liked that the cast wasn't all identical eye candy, with everyone looking the same. I can't tell contestants apart on The Bachelor/Bachelorette, and Grand Hotel was the same, actors needed name tags. I liked that Poppy hooked up with an Asian police guy, who was a "normal" looking Asian guy, and her husband is a slightly overweight grey-haired guy with a pony tail. That was totally different for today's tv. I even liked the overweight sandwich guy. He's like the dude who lives down the street. In fact, all of these people resemble dudes who live down the street.

Sure, the beginning was hokey since Poppy didn't even hit that guy with the suitcase. And the blond surfer dude being murdered and put in a freezer was extraneous, not sure why he had to be killed just because he was in on the plot. As Poppy was climbing into the house, I wondered if that was really Jessie Graf, that would be cool if she got a gig in Australia.

I also wondered why the kidnapped woman didn't drown after she was snatched off of her kayak, but whatever. I guess they had air lines down there like those cocktail-lounge tank "mermaids" have.

I did believe the kidnapped woman doing it for her SM followers though. THAT was the most believable part of the show, and the first to use that as far as I know. At least as a plot device. We all know the Bachelor cast uses that as a Wrong Reason.

Meanwhile, the scenery is pretty. I'm in for the duration, however long that is.
