Episode 1 of Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue<\/strong><\/em> feels a little like Lost<\/strong><\/em>. Albeit, a very scaled down version of the hit mystery\/thriller. This is a two engine airplane flying over a jungle and it is nowhere near a beach. Also, all the characters who live are not neatly dressed or pretty much spotless. <\/p>\n While there was that sort of small deja vu feeling about Lost<\/strong><\/em>, at the very end of the episode it dove right into Korean Horror. It seems to borrow a plot device used in the 2004 film R-Point<\/a>.<\/p>\n *And oddly enough, it feels a little like Gilligan\u2019s Island<\/strong><\/em> with an airplane.*<\/p>\n It is interesting and pretty darned watchable. Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue<\/strong><\/em> is, afterall, created by Anthony Horowitz<\/a>. The same guy who brought us, amongst other things, Alex Rider. <\/p>\n For a show that has an opening credit sequence that rivals AHS with its weirdly entertaining visuals, it looks pretty good so far. <\/p>\n We just have to suspend our disbelief long enough to get into the show.<\/p>\n A disparate group of nine people are on a short airplane journey. A Mexican wrestler, a \u201cformer\u201d doctor, an insurance adjuster, a MAGA couple who own a hotel chain, a young honeymooning couple, and a \u201cmystery\u201d passenger. A total of eight people who, with the very small cabin crew, equals 10 folks. <\/p>\n GPS failure and a lack of fuel interrupts the flight. As the plane needs fuel to fly, the pilot has to crash land the vehicle. The stewardess buys it in the crash and the pilot is not far behind. <\/p>\n Flashforward and there is an Army base under observation by a man and a woman. The base gets nine bodies delivered to be interred in the morgue. They discover a discrepancy with the numbers on hand. <\/p>\n Peter Gadiot<\/a> is Carlos. He is a Mexican Wrestler.<\/p>\n Eric M<\/a>c<\/a>Cormack<\/a> is Kevin, the former doctor.<\/p>\n \u00c1ngel L\u00f3pez-Silva<\/a> is Capitan Gabriel Vega.<\/p>\n Sebasti\u00e1n Capit\u00e1n Viveros<\/a> is Subteniente Ignacio L\u00f3pez.<\/p>\n Jan Le<\/a> is Amy Maclean.<\/p>\n Adam Long<\/a> is Dan Maclean.<\/p>\n Siobh\u00e1n McSweeney<\/a> is Lisa Davies.<\/p>\n \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson<\/a> is Travis Davies.<\/p>\n David Ajala<\/a> is Zack Ellis. <\/p>\n Lydia Wilson<\/a> is Sonja.<\/p>\n Viviane Andereggen<\/a> and Brian O\u2019Malley<\/a> share director credit. Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue <\/strong><\/em>is created by Horowitz and written by him. The location works quite well, a tiny landing area in a dense jungle. James Mather<\/a> makes the most of both locations in the show. <\/p>\nThe story<\/h4>\n
