I had never heard of Wreck until reading this post, and I just watched the first episode and LOVED it! I cannot wait to finish it. Thanks for the (w)rec!
Ooh, I'd planned to check out "Wreck" before it was named as a whisker, so I'll definitely do so. I've always had a kneejerk reaction against cruise ships from a public health perspective, even pre-COVID (norovirus, anyone?). Throw in the horror stories of passengers going missing and the rigid hierarchy of privilege, both for passengers and crewmembers (what percentage of crewmembers are Indonesian?), and I'm just hard pressed to say anything positive about it*. The sight of these huge monstrosities in places like San Francisco, Sydney, or Barcelona makes me want to cry.
*OK, I did think about going on those Indigo Girls/Brandi Carlile Cayamo cruises and those going to see the fast-disappearing glaciers.
Yeah, EXACTLY. We feel the same way about cruises for the exact same reasons. Also have occasionally been tempted by a queer cruise (but not enough to actually go) and drawn to see the endangered glaciers (but not enough to actually go)... 'Wreck' absolutely did NOT make us want to actually go. But definitely watch 'Wreck'— you'll love Vivian and we think you'll appreciate where they take the story/the characters. Keep us posted!

Oh, awesome! We love hearing that, and or course would love to know what you think when you finish the season... 🦜😎
