Re: ABC TV "Off the Map"
I had it on DVR and finally watched it.
I agree that it was too gruesome. I grew up in a medical family and, combined with my own search and rescue work, I've seen more than enough blood and guts.
I also agree that the staff on OTM is unrealistic, all of them being young and cute, etc. I've never been a fan of any of the medical TV shows, and this one joins the list. I only watched it because of the Hawaii connection and I don't expect to watch it again.
I laughed at parts of it. They're supposed to be in an extemely isolated area and where they can't get supplies, but there was one scene where they were looking out at the ocean and I saw two sailboats going by, and another ocean scene later on where I saw a Young Brothers barge going by!!!
Two other scenes showed Diamond Head.
I also wasn't happy about two separate scenes where they leaped off the high cliffs into the ocean. I think some viewers may follow that example, and not realize that it's absolutely critical to check first and make sure there are no underwater rocks in the area they're jumping into. And in the second one they jumped in as the wave was going out, not in. Stupid.
One question -- why is this thread in the Hawaii TV section instead of the general TV section? Just curious.
