Castaways

All the negative reviews here are so cut throat, I on the other hand welcome this different aproach of POV of surivival story. This is not your gung-ho surivel in the wild jungle type of show, and if thats whats you are looking for I'd look somehere else like the other other show "Alone." This is an in-depth examination and story telling of contestants who are taken away from their own reality.

Each contestant have their own struggles and obstacles as we all do in our lifes, but what if you were to be sent to an remote island where you are thousands of miles away from your obstacles, family, struggles, inner demons and challenges in life? would your life back home be your biggest challenge as you are left alone to survive in the remote island?

Will your new challenge of surviving in a remote island make you stronger? Will you confront your inner struggles? Will you learn the strength it takes to fight face those obstacles? Maybe some contestants already have what it takes to overcome those issues in reality, perhaps their biggest obstacles will be facing those challenges alone. While some are build to survive alone while others feel the need of companionship. Will these contestants summon the courage to find the others to overcome this new chapter in their life together or will they do it alone? Watch and find out!!

This is a show worth watching. You honestly care about each person, their story and what happens to them. Its not a fast paced competition, it's a beautiful story unfolding. Love love love.

I guess if you're looking for the usual back stabbing, secret plotting, trying to win, game show experience, you will be disappointed. Of course there are camera people filming them, it's only a fraud if you didn't expect that (I didn't so no feelings of betrayal here).

I really like this show and it's one of a very few that I look forward to and actually sit down to watch. It's different, an interesting examination of normal people wrestling with their demons, emotions, expectations and is an example of how, for the most part, we all struggle with similar things. The Survivor/Big Brother/whatever thing is overdone and overplayed. This is a refreshing change.

I like this show. If you've ever wondered 'would I be able to do this!?' This show will help break down what people were thinking at the time and he mental struggles you face being away from home and alone or the anticipation of meeting/surviving with someone else - a stranger. The reviews that don't like this show should go back to watching real housewives and lifestyles of the rich and famous. Get a life people. Different is good and this show makes you think about how everyone has problems - some different and some the same as yours. But we're all just trying to do our best loving one day at a time.

I've just watched episode one and it was painfully slow to the point I almost turned it off a few times. I like the concept, but the setup is taking way too long. It would have been better if the character profiles had been dispersed throughout the episodes instead of episode one, and I'm assuming episode two since we haven't met everyone yet. It's just too slow.
