Wilderness (2023)
1/10
The actor who plays Will is so bad it hurts.

Warning: Spoilers
I started watching this by accident and all I have to say is that the actor who plays Will cannot act in any way shape or form.

I dare anyone to watch this and note down the amount of times he repeats the first word of a sentence when the storyline gets more..."intense" and calls for actual acting. I guess that it's simply how the guy portrays the "incredibly obscure & difficult to portray" emotion of "being nervous".

All that aside - It's actually laughable and completely ruined the whole thing for me. Although some viewers may find it tempting, I just want to say that it would be an incredibly bad idea to down a shot every time he repeats himself - in a kind of drinking game, because you would most definitely end up in A&E with alcohol poisoning and having your stomach pumped.

Another thing that struck me as confusing is that he's arguably the second most important character in the entire thing - yet his acting abilities would appear unqualified even in an episode of Hollyoaks. Therefore I have absolutely no idea how he got cast in this. I have now officially spent far too much time thinking about "Will from Wilderness" so my conclusion is that it must be another example of "it's not WHAT you know - it's WHO you know." In the entertainment business.
