While predictability is usually the bane of an enticing story, “The Fallout” is sneakily aware of itself, lulling viewers into its steady rhythm then pouncing on them come the close.

By the end, “The Mauritanian” claws itself out of the pit it fell into, but far too late. Once it recognizes daylight, like the crashing waves seen through a tattered prison fence in a late scene, it rushes to save itself.

Credits would roll, but it’d be difficult to string together a list of more than one or two relevant happenings in the episode.

Though “Adrift” does not ever stray too far from the familiar setup of the survival thriller, it manages to find poignancy within this well-known structure.
