It seems like a
good concept, develop a Utopian society, but from what I have seen of
the premiere episode it is no different than any other reality show.
I thought it would be a lot more interesting and intriguing. So far
they may as well have put 15 children in a pen and let them fight for
three days, because basically that is what we have been presented
with so far. They haven't created anything but a lack of enthusiasm
for anyone on the island. Oh wait. Sorry, that is a different show.
If this first
episode ended with the complex burning down and they all died, I
would not shed a tear. I will watch again, but I really hope it gets
a lot better. Again, it seems like a wonderful concept, but you need
to put the right people in place to make a change. At this point it
might as well be a show about the government. If I want that, I'll
just watch the news.
I suppose the
casting was well done, they are a bunch of mixed up misfits.
Obviously we don't see everything, so part of the disinterest could
be due to the editing. The host isn't very likable either. By
the end of the show they all hugged. Is this the solution to
everything that they need to accomplish? It seems like the only
thing they will accomplish is another failed reality show.
Thus far the show has very few likable characters. Bella, a survivalist prepper, can't seem to go a day without crying. Yeah, she's the one I'd want to share a foxhole with. Red, "the hillbilly", wants to leave already, and I wish he would. He is one of the oldest members there, but is one of the biggest children. The Pastor claims that God sent him there to teach. I can see his discomfort with some of the goings-on, but isn't that why he feels he is there? If you were sent there to teach, then teach. Dave, an ex drug dealer and ex-con, is at least somewhat interesting, seems like he could snap at any moment.
