----------------------------------------
Episode 1: He frees the girl out of the crate, opening a nailed shut crate with his bare hands.

We are told the name of the girl (Supposed to be from India? I wonder..) by the narrator in the preview for the next episode.

Now, at the beginning of episode 2, he already knows the girls name. Although she didn't say a single word so far.

The first thing she ever says is "eergh?".

Why didn't they show their first conversation? Convey his surprise, tell us how and why she got kidnapped, stuff like that?

And the fact that she got kidnapped should raise some red flags for Esteban.
But he just shrugs it off and says "I bet nobody on the whole ship knows we are here!".
Yeah, right. Someone must have accidentially tied and gagged her up, thrown her into a crate and then nailed the crate shut.

Looks like he will be the naive idiot type of MC.

Overall the pacing is too fast for my taste, the conversations between Esteban and the girl are superficial and pointless and the ones of the crew feel forced.

They said it would take them 5 months to travel there, 5 months on a small ship would be plenty of time to let the viewer explore the characters and the characters each other.
Yet they do nothing with the opportunity.
