I had high hopes for this comedy-thriller but boy does this drag on.

No idea why it has such a high rating on IMDB either. Its not a bad plot but the writers have pulled a half-good idea like an elastic band.

I've watched three episodes but have now officially given up with the poor acting ,second rate script and unrealistic sets.

Life's to short to watch the whole series so maybe it gets better ? I guess i'll never know.

So much for falling for the press previews.

It will be interesting to see what other viewers make of 'Stags' but my monthly Paramount subscription is not getting renewed .

I won't spoil anything about this trash show, but will say I was a moron for hate watching the entire thing. The premise of the movie is a combination of The Hangover, Shashank Redemption and the book Of Mice and Men. The big difference is that it didn't have any of the smarts of either the movies or the book. It claims it is a comedy/drama.... NOPE. Not one funny scene in the entire 6 episode run.

The only likable character is Ryan, who is like Lenny from the book, Of Mice and Men. He is loyal to the end and too dimwitted to know his own shortcomings and those of others. ALL and I mean ALL the other characters in the series, you just hate with a passion.

The storyline is a group of friends goes to an exotic tropical paradise for a bachelor party. Naturally, they find trouble or trouble finds them (Hangover anyone), The premise is the only comedy in the entire series. They screw up and end up getting arrested and sent to prison. In prison, they try to plot their escape, but the prison is a hellhole. They try to escape and meet and work with various other characters in prison to escape (Shashank Redemption). THAT is where the similarities end with those great movies.

The remainder of the series is them screwing up all their attempts to escape. The lack of any moral compass makes it hard to root for any of them to escape. I will end of super general review here, but to say the least you would not be missing much by skipping this show. I hope I saved some people's brain cells who are smart enough to avoid this show.

I've watched all 6 episodes, I regret that I persevered with it. The show just drags and drags... there's a couple of good twists throughout I enjoyed the one at the very end of the last episode. But the rest of the show is not good enough to sit through for one good twist.

It's disappointing because it started off pretty good, with a few good laughs which is expected since it's supposed to be a comedy. But then the show really takes a nose dive by the second episode.

I've reached a point where I'm now struggling to fill the required 600 characters, as I have nothing else to add.

Don't watch this if you're actually looking to watch a comedy.
