I'm sorry but I am from Costa Rica so let me tell you something. When they were here in the lockdown there was no way they had a tattoo with a person not wearing a mask

We were very disciplined during the pandemia. Everything at that moment was closed. Everybody had to wear a mask. So even when the story is nice, it is not 100% real.

I am aware they have to spice things up to tell the story. But please don't stage things this way.

Again. It is a tv story. They probably recorded many of this recently and not during the pandemia. I think truth have to be told.

Next time it's better to tell things as they happened.

I was a bit skeptical about that show when my wife started to watch it... but I gave it a go. It looked OK even though it was weird that he was filming everything.

That weird taste continued to amplify when understanding that he was not filming for himself or to have some memories but for somebody else like influencers do.

And when I saw NO numberplate on the Nissan car, which he REALLY stupidly drove into a pond, it immediately felt so totally staged and sponsorized that I stopped watching at once.

That could have been a true story but that was obviously scripted and staged from the beginning till the end.

The "Documentary" tag is disappointingly inaccurate. "Reality?" Sure. Which makes the whole thing cringeworthy. Why lie? A more apt title would be "Wannabe 'Influencer' & Immature Woman Make a Movie."

On March 17, 2020 - weeks after the world was advised of a grave public health threat and a week after the WHO declared a global pandemic - a handsome white guy who wants to be an influencer buys cheap tickets to Costa Roca for himself and an immature 30-year old Asian girl he claims to want to take on a third date for five days. Cheap tickets because airlines had already figured out that travel would end soon. And then COVID unexpectedly happened?! Puh-leeze. If you read any newspaper, you knew already in December 2019 what was coming. After watching this docudrama, I conclude that it was professionally cast and deliberately (reen)acted .

It is hard to know which parts, if any, were recorded during the putative vacation and which were made afterward. But it is crystal clear that much of the footage was created for the sole purpose of making a movie. So, it's insincere at best, but really it's just duplicitous factionalized "reality."

Two stars because the wildlife was nice to see.
