Starring Sally Lindsay, Neil Morrissey, Gerald Kyd and Ramon Tikaram, the drama series, created and co-written by Polly Buckle, tells the story of a newly divorced woman, Emma who in search of a new life, jets out to Cyprus where on her first day meets a fine gentleman, Niko who was identified to her as the owner of the hotel she is staying. In less than three days, they were dating, and by day five, she was scammed by the same hotel owner.
Not the most uncommon plot, and unfortunately, the execution doesn’t elevate it. You can likely guess how things will unfold, and even if you’re slightly off, it doesn’t make the journey any more rewarding. Weak scripting and unconvincing performances leave the story feeling flat and uninspired.
Watch on Netflix if you’ve got that time to waste
