Wrecked

Rhys Darby is hilarious in this, but my favorite character is played by Will Greenberg .. The dude must've study frat guys for sure. Some episodes are near perfect.

A plane crashes onto a deserted tropical island. The survivors include incompetent flight attendant Owen. Florence and Emma are best friends. Danny is a loser pretending to be a cop. Jess is married to the jerk Todd. Steve is a New Zealander. Pack is tech obsessed. Karen is the survivalist. Liam is the obvious chiseled leader until he gets crushed by the nose of the plane in the first episode.

This is a fun, ridiculous spoof. It starts as a spoof of Lost but deviates relatively quickly. I love all the ridiculous characters and the actors who give it everything. I do miss Ginger Gonzaga who left the show early in the second season. She's a lead actress who formed a duo as Emma and Florence. It's a TBS comedy which lasted three seasons. It's never going to win any awards but it's fun while it lasted.

Imagine you are a flight attendant on a plane piloted by Leslie Nielsen and right in the middle of half the passengers complaining and the other half getting wrecked (see what I did there?), the plane goes down. Next thing you know you are dealing with a lot of panicked people on a tropical beach--sort of like "Lost", but with a greater chance of a believable storyline.

Well, Owen, it doesn't take long for everyone to assume their places in this new society. What will be yours? Looking on the bright side (now that the pilots are gone and the one guy who seemed a natural to take charge has perished), will you finally realize that flight attendants have a higher calling?

"Wrecked" also ponders other basic questions, like are people basically good, as Danny (the big guy) believes? Or will the island be all "Lord of the Flies", as the corporate-survival-of-the-fittest woman believes?

It's an opportunity for the survivors to redefine themselves, to reinvent themselves, if they like. Maybe you'd want to be a cop? Or an importer-exporter? It's your big chance.

This parody of survival shows plays with all the usual tropes (it's a trope-ical island, after all) and is not afraid to get silly, though not as silly as "Angie Tribeca". So sit back with a mai tai, put your toes in the sand, and enjoy the comedy stylings of a bunch of misfits who couldn't survive on an island if Waikiki were just over the first sand dune.

Update 6/30/16: After a few episodes, I am enjoying this show, which has a kind of "Last Man on Earth" vibe.

Please do not cancel this show! And if you are a fan, Watch on a platform that will support positive ratings! TBS was churning out poop for years... dont let that junk make you pre-judge this show. Lets just say I watched the pilot about 4 times in the first week (years ago).

I must also mention that the talented cast here- from chemistry to individual talent is through the roof. These are some of the best comedic actors you will ever see on screen, and even if you only know the 2-3 HUGE comedy icons, the rest of the cast is also quite accomplished. The meta for putting lesser known actors in tv and movies is proving to pay off for all.

I can't believe TBS is cancelling such a funny, original show. I haven't seen a show that made me laugh like this in quite a while. The TBS network has been my go to for programming since this show arrived, but they've lost my viewing (and respect) when they made the very, very poor choice of cancelling this comedy gem.
