There are a lot of things I disliked about this. First and foremost, I never felt an attachment to any of the characters, which made stakes feel empty and made relationships (one a main story element) not feel very believable. The characters kept making dumb decisions and one of the two just felt so wishy-washy.
There are more granular bits and pieces I disliked but honestly it doesn't feel worth going into all that!

A strong portrayal of a tense hot/dusty colonial setting. Similar to 18th/19th century colonial British India or Africa.
