The show is pretty interesting, and it has a lot of suspense and intrigue. It has a crime noir feel to it, which is contrasted by its bright and sunny locales. At times, it feels like Outer Banks in that they're searching for a fabled centuries old treasure that had actually never been found, even though there are gold doubloons washing up on the shore left and right.
I can suspend my disbelief, but only so much. Where the show started to lose me was in the acting. It feels like the two leads are struggling to stay in accent the entire time. Edgar Ramirez's latin accent is so thick that it's hard to understand what he's saying half of the time and Abbey Lee's Australian accent always shines through. I couldn't tell if she was trying to pull off a New York accent, which is odd since her character is from Chicago, or if she needs to find a better accent coach.
The acting nitpick aside, I was still invested in the show and found it to be enjoyable and entertaining overall. It's honestly a good rainy day binge, even though it probably won't be winning any awards.
