"Survive" Pits Sophie Turner Against Winter Again in This So-So Adventure

Review of Quibi’s Survive:

The brand-new streaming service Quibi launched yesterday with several shows, with three episodes available each. The point of this streaming platform was to give episodes in little bites, with each “chapter” being around six to ten minutes long, easy to watch on the go. The first show I will be reviewing of theirs is the Sophie Turner-starring survival story Survive which tells the story of a woman named Jane who is having suicidal thoughts and is planning to kill herself on a plane. However, when the plane crashes, her and a kind man named Paul (Corey Hawkins) are left to survive in the wilderness. Turner, as expected, gives a strong performance as the depressed Jane, who is having a tough dilemma whether to end it all or not. After Game of Thrones finally ended, Turner was looking for new roles, playing Jean Grey in Dark Phoenix, but that didn’t get her far. So she’s now with Survive, and the talented actress gives it everything she’s got, but the show gets lost too often in its own cliches. Also, the quick-bite episodes clocking at around seven minutes don’t help either, with the actual excitement not starting until the fourth episode. Hawkins gives a strong performance as well, but that still can’t help this middling survival drama. It still may be enough to fulfill Turner fans’ desires to see her in more TV however.

Should you Binge, Browse, or Skip?

Survive has a game Sophie Turner, but her talents are overwhelmed by disappointing cliches and a lack of thrills in the first few episodes.

I would say…SKIP IT
