Maiden Voyage (Premiere) | The Chthonic | S1E1 | GE1

The Chthonic looks like a luxury cruise, but the staff are already serving something much older and less human than the passengers realize. Olivia keeps the guests smiling while Captain William, Alistair, and the Dagon Dream Group quietly turn bells, apps, debt, and desire into tools of control. Below deck, the crew compare notes, swap warnings, and realize that getting exploited is practically part of the employee handbook. By the time Mairead sits down at the poker table, the cruise has stopped looking like a vacation and started looking like a trap with very good customer service.
