Like a lot of horror-comedy, the social commentary Wreck makes is very explicit and heightened, but there are moments of nuance in there, too. Go to Full Review
Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News 03/03/2023
3.5/4
It’s awfully tempting to sum up this addictive, funny and scary Irish six-episode series as “Scream” set on a cruise liner. But that sells it short. Go to Full Review
Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 03/02/2023
3.5/5
Quacky the Duck might be a scene stealer, but Brown has far more on his mind than a straightforward slasher. Hidden behind the Quacky mask is a larger murder-mystery conspiracy, charming characters, and a reverence for the horror genre. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Wreck doesn’t exactly fulfill its pitch as a full-on slasher, but in other ways, this seafaring horror story delivers aplenty. Go to Full Review
Alison Lanier Pajiba 03/22/2023
Wreck is an entertaining, visually interesting adventure that will take you on a horror binge getaway, but don’t expect to be blown away. Go to Full Review
Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 03/08/2023
3/5
The energy is like Mean Girls crossed with Scream, and even if there are few real narrative surprises, the kooky visuals, fun characters, and interesting setting is enough to carry viewers along pleasantly. Go to Full Review

Tero H @Tero83 Jul 26 So great teen horror comedy tv-series. Idea is so good. Every episode was fun to watch and all the characters are great. See more Shannon S @RT91875374 04/06/2025 Best series I have seen in a while, they need to bring it back for season 3 had me on the edge of my seat and need to see where it leads with Jamie and Karen. See more Howie G @RT48657363 09/02/2024 A delightfully macabre teen series that masterfully blends horror and comedy, echoing the silly wit of "Shaun of the Dead." Set aboard a cruise ship, the show follows a group of young misfits as they unravel the mystery behind a series of sinister disappearances, all while being stalked by a killer in a duck costume. The blend of absurdity and tension is quintessentially British, with clever dialogue and biting social commentary. It's a quirky, thrilling romp that both chills and entertains, perfect for fans of offbeat, genre-twisting tales. See more Gloria S @RT30938725 08/30/2024 Wreck is an unexpected, underrated delight—a darkly comic romp with just the right amount of edge. The teen series deftly balances its horror elements with sharp wit and clever twists, keeping you both entertained and on your toes. I thought I might be a bit too old too watch but found myself hooked! Ryan J. Brown’s script is smart and snappy, delivering a fresh take on the genre that feels both playful and genuinely suspenseful. The show surprises you with how much fun it is, all the while leaving you eager for more. A strong debut that promises even better things to come! See more Karol W @RT66346428 02/06/2024 I don't usually watch BBC shows but this has really grabbed me. Feels very different!! And such good representation done right See more Paul G @RT67423558 11/12/2023 This was a lot of fun, it had a Stranger Things vibe which is clearly intentional given the soundtrack and logo. The characters worked, and the confined set really worked well. I look forward to season 2 but I have no idea how this continues given the unknown was a key factor in the enjoyment See more Read all reviews
