The I-Land

All of the episode titles are quotes from "The Tempest." ("Oh brave new world that has such creatures in it"-in light of the play telling us at once that pretty faces disguise dark hearts.) One subplot of "The Tempest" is that Prospero the magician has a ship carrying a variety of noblemen and courtiers to his island and has them wander around thinking they are alone and tested by various illusions in order to find out if they are good people at heart, mediocre people, or bad people. That's what happens in this series, more or less. Prospero uses a spirit being named Ariel to make this happen, much as two people show up to guide or warn and to watch the survivors. At the end of the play, Prospero makes his decisions. Knowing this makes the series more fun.

This is so bad that it's going to be studied by future generations. It's completely mind-boggling that something like this can be made in 2019. I'm impressed!

I really wanted to like this show because the premise sounded so good, but the dialogue and acting is just terrible. What a disappointment.

It's a rip off of Lost, but gets just as weird even quicker.

The characters are unlikable. They're stupid. They're a bunch of 30ish year olds acting like teens in the first few episodes.

Then it's an attempt at sci fi, but worse. It's bland, its slow, it makes no sense.

While I think some reviews are extremely harsh, it's actually a pretty poor series too.

The ideia is good, I think they could have done a lot more with it. Negative coments are a bit strong, its not that bad. I didnt go nuts for this series but its definitly watchable.
