It was free on Hulu, so I gave it a chance. Its first two thirds are slow-going, and I only half-watched. But the last third got surprisingly compelling.
First third: a couple, both models, bicker a lot. Really annoying.
Second third: they voyage on a luxury yacht with various rich people, ranging from a "shit seller" (made his fortune selling fertilizer) to a weapons manufacturer. After pirates throw a grenade on board, the wife sees it and asks her husband, "Is this one of ours?" with the tone of voice you might use seeing your book in a bookstore or your face on a poster. The husband sees that the pin has been pulled.
Third third: survivors from the explosion end up on a deserted island, where social assumptions are quickly undone.
