I've only had access to the first two episodes, but so far it's like a weak interpretation of an Agatha Christie-type story, with a splash of Only Murders in the Building. Mandy Patinkin piqued my interest, because I usually enjoy his work, but this accent he's doing - I think it's meant to be British? - isn't working for me. I do love the sets. Although the story is set in present day, the ship has an elegant Art Deco decor. I'm hoping the story will get more interesting as it delves deeper into each character. A genuine Agatha Christie locked-room mystery could make the reader (or viewer, in the case of a screen adaptation) feel like they know each character, even with, say, ten suspects.
