I really liked Keep Breathing. Melissa Barrera is really good as basically the only character this series follows. She is Liv, a woman who survives a plane crash in the middle of nowhere, then has to keep surviving.

I like that each episode is a bit different. I also like that Liv is not portrayed as some sort of survival expert or that the risks and problems are played down. Liv is just a resourceful, determined woman but like any city person she doesn't know what she's doing out there.

What makes the series different from just that idea of survival, is that they keep tying it back to life before the accident and to her youth.

In one of the flashbacks to Liv's youth, there was essentially a mini-survival that prepared her for being lost alone in the forest. Her mother was supposed to pick her up from a girl scouts event, but of course didn't, so after a long wait she had to try to walk home, navigate the jungle that is New York without any preparation or help. After a long walk, she reaches home and falls into the arms of her father. It's this memory that drives her as an adult in the forests of Canada and tells her she can do it.

She also finds that what she learned in the girl scouts is not as easily applicable in reality as she thought at the time. E.g. how are you going to magnetise a compass needle, did you bring your big magnet?

Episode 6 Jessica Fox comes in as Enid Nightshade. Instantly quite a character.

It has been my theory (without knowing the books) that originally the idea was to have Mildred go up against Ethel as the standard good vs evil battle. But because Mildred is 'the worst witch', and Ethel some sort of perfect witch with lots of talent, these stories were not going to work very well if magic was to be used in the battles. In comes Enid, also without morals, also very good at spells, but she takes an instant dislike to Ethel so she joins Mildred just to upset her.
