The first few episodes were good, but it went downhill FAST! It turned into the "Jill and Amber bully show" and the producers should have NEVER let that happen. By the end of 4th to 5th episodes, I couldn't take it any more and I stopped watching. Everyone should stop watching to show we do not condone bullying. I love survivalist shows and there are some great people that got forced off without a say because the producers of this show allowed horrible behavior.

I wish I could have continued watching because many of the others on the show were amazing.

Please put Dawn, Javier, Brian, and Joel on another show!

I've long been a fan of survival series of all types. I was really excited by the idea of Outlast since it takes place in Alaska, and I expected that it would provide the opportunity to learn techniques of survival in one of the most difficult places to live primitively on earth. How cool, right? Yet this series is not about surviving the elements -- there were no discussion on fire building, shelter building, foraging, fishing, or much anything else survival related.

The series is an example of the worst of human behavior -- it is a foray into the evil that some humans will do to others out of greed, which includes -- theft, destruction, deceit, bullying, and mockery. The aggressive gameplay and manipulation was not fun to watch, it merely underscored how some humans can rationalize the harm they do to others -- and how others within their orbit will passively accept, resign without challenging, or turn a blind eye to the misdeeds to avoid confrontation.

I have to wonder if the creators of this show encouraged the behavior perpetrated by the private investigator from Kentucky? This woman has such a heinous unlikable aspect, yet apparently her underhanded behavior was completely acceptable by the producers of this series. It didn't violate the rules, so all good, right? No.

I'm shocked that the producers allowed Jill and her two idiot followers to steal the sleeping bags of the other contestants. In sub- freezing temperatures, how could she even consider doing this? I couldn't believe it was allowed to occur. After that, she also entered another contestant's camp and harrased and began taking apart his camp right in front of him! His only resort would to be to physically attack her- which if course he would not do. She relished the idea if doing this and displayed the most reprehensible behavior- tainting him and smiling while she did it.

I don't remember a more truly disgusting person on television. As sample if what a phoney she was csn be seen when she cried when having to kill a squirrel for food. Apologizing to it and thank it for its "sacrifice"- as if she was a decent, feeling person.

She should have been pulled out of the show as soon as the producers saw her horrible behavior. As far as her life after the show, her friends, relatives and clients must be in shock and embarrassed by her. Shame on Netflix for allowing this to happen.

Javier was the real winner in this show! Loved him and his true honest character. What a warrior! Absolutely hated the bullying and how messed up Jill is in the head. She's a horrible person and should be ashamed of herself. The way she treated other teams was completely unfair and there should be rules like not allowing other teams to trespass their camp sites. There should be set boundaries. This show ended up being more about how terrible a person can be vs how good you are at surviving in the wild. It was humanity vs evil at this point. Interesting show but terrible, oh and ALPHA SUCKS!! Especially Jill!! Boooo.

I'm a huge fan of these types of survival shows. That was until I got to episode 5 of this horrific monstrosity. I immediately stopped watching, and removed it from my watch list. I am not one to go to the public with my opinions; however, I felt the need to say something.

Even after 38 years of living on this Earth, it still astonishes me how greedy, cruel, conniving, and downright evil people can be. This is a sad fact on it's own, but for Netflix to promote such behavior saddens me further. This show was created to award evil individuals and remove hope from those with integrity and honor. The show is truly a disgrace to all mankind.

Now, for the cast. I am not one to easily anger, but it truly got to me that there were good people in this show that suffered from the cruelty of others. Alpha Team was the most despicable members on the show. Completely treacherous and downright evil members. Amber Asay - An "ex" heroin addict (kind of saw that one coming), and Jill Ashock - a selfish, conceited, know it all, and horrific person... were easily the two worst on the show. These are the types of people who would sell their souls for cash and destroy society for pleasure. Justin Court was the third member and also a terrible human being, but I'm unsure if he is as bad as the two females that caused me to stop watching. I truly hope that karma bites them in the rear in "real life".

For the rest of the day, I'll probably not be able to shake this feeling of anger and hopelessness. Thanks Netflix for your assistance in destroying hope for humanity.

First off thank you universe for not letting the bad guys win, the team who really let civilisation slip did not deserve to win a cent and karma balanced them out.

The 'detective' on alpha really showed that her career has taught her how to steal, lie and manipulate all whilst playing the victim "they cant do that (but we can)" mentality and shows what we all think about the policing industry as a whole.

She pulled in 2 like minded souls and put them to work with malicious tasks that albeit they were willing to do for her/them/"the team"

there were good people forced off the show cause of them!

If you like to watch psychopaths trying to win a game and whining when they have to eat their own medicine, this is your show. If you are out for great Alaska footage and survival footage with great competitions, skip it. It is all about interpersonal drama and focuses on the creators of it. The creators of the show failed to make this a prestige show with great outdoor challenges. While it make sense to show the rivalry, it shouldn't be the main focus of the show. It just becomes a trashy show due to that. This show doesn't teach you anything about the wild, which I expected. Very unfortunate.

I started the series today and finished it in one sitting. The series is quite interesting to watch.

You'll realise that Jill and Amber were the worst contestants as the show progresses. They played really dirty, they were devils and heartless. Glad that at some point, they got the taste of their own medicine.

Nick and Javier had the characters most people would like and they shined well even though it was heartbreaking to see Javier's situation at the end.

Season 2 should have some strict rules on humanitarian grounds as certain things shouldn't be allowed that can be fatal to other contestants.

I vote for Season 2.

I see the reviews being low because the viewers didn't like two of the contestants, not the actual show that was actually pretty good.

Yes the two contestants made me want to punch the screen because they were such terrible humans but the concept and the show was pretty good.

I was very happy to find out that season 2 comes out in a couple weeks because it's a good show and I'm sure they'll one up season one with some more ratings boosting controversy.

As for the two contestants in question, it's a sad fact that there are far too many people like this in the world and we don't like to see it.

Having read a few reviews before watching this I didn't hold high hopes for it. I downloaded the first four episodes to watch on a flight home. Having watched them I wished I'd downloaded two more to see my flight out.

It's another survival concept with the focus on team play (you can only win if you are in a team). The last team standing win a million. Whether the producers expected it to go the way it went, I don't know. There was back stabbing, vandalism and players switching teams. There were some very likeable players and some not so nice.

I can understand people not liking the show. It is a survival programme but not like we are used to seeing. The best survivalist won't necessarily win.

My only complaint is the ending felt like a bit of a cop out and a bit rushed.

I would like to see an after party show to see how the contestants seemed in 'real-life'.

It's very, very difficult to not believe that this show has been set up using improvisational actors following a loose script and a designed plot.

Everything eventually starts playing out like a soap opera with endless convenient moments of discovery and character arcs that would be hard to swallow within fiction, let alone in reality.

Most suspicious of all is the fact that three such irredeemably-vile people as Jill, Amber and Justin would somehow end up on a single team and become soap-opera villains of the first order, complete with psychopathy and delusional levels of projection.

If this is actually real then it's the sort of thing that could destroy any viewer's faith in humanity. I can only hope that it's all a fake-out and that these three people are actors rather than monsters.

Outlast is conceived as a team survival game. On that front, it's hard to call it a success. Contestants are provided overly gamey challenges that make it feel more like Survivor than Alone. Surprisingly dynamic camera work is a minus here, suggesting more infrastructure than Outlast is willing to admit. I have no doubt that contestants are hungry, tired, and cold, but the show doesn't focus particularly on their survival challenges. In the end, the producers just change the rules outright, perhaps out of money for a game that lasted longer than anticipated; perhaps, just exhausted of a game that spiraled out of control; perhaps even worried about liability from what might happen next if the game doesn't end.

But, because of the actions of some contestants, Outlast becomes a fascinating examination of the development of nascent systems of ethics and justice.

Provided no real rules, one team soon decides to sabotage another, stealing away their sleeping bags. We're provided a variety of responses to this. The victims, understandably, feel angry and violated (although one of them had earlier argued unsuccessfully for similar behavior from her own team; she's not the worst hypocirte here however.) One contestant sees that this can lead only to increasingly ugly behavior, whether driven by selfishness or by the desire for justice-- and isn't it so hard to see the difference when self-interest is on the line? Another contestant seeks justice, striving to ensure that the wrong-doers are punished, even against his own self-interest; and one entire team seems content with the behavior, provided it benefits them and that they don't have to feel any personal responsibility. Personally, I can see myself behaving in any of these ways, even as one of the wrongdoers; it seems that our ideals are very much a function of our culture, even when that culture is only four members strong, and while I respect Javier very much, I cannot agree with his certainty that people are somehow constants, irrespective of context.

Maybe I'm more academically-minded than most, but to me, it's hard not to see this is an experiment in early political systems; it's hard not to see this as an indictment of anarchism and an endorsement of the state, and particularly of the basic idea of a system of justice. Unfortunately, here, the wrongdoers are never really punished, even for their hypocrisy when the shoes is, vaguely, on the other foot. But it's not hard to imagine a game that lasted longer, with more tribes, leading to an intertribal political structure designed to prevent issues like this. And although the tribes here pursue out-of-the-box antisocial tactics, I personally find it disappointing that they never found the out-of-the-box *pro*social tactic: to become a single team, and thus end the game and share winnings equally. If that was somehow against the rules, since it could end the game before it began, Outlast never made that clear.

Outlast is not a survivalist show, and if that's what you're after, you probably shouldn't watch it. Neither is it a detective mystery, where the bad guys are punished and we all go to sleep happy, content that justice was done. Justice was not done in this show; mechanisms of justice took significantly longer to develop than can be shown on Outlast. But if you're interested in politics, if you're interested in psychology, if you're interested in sociology, then Outlast is a unique, if unpleasant, experiment in those fields.

This starts of how you imagine, and it was quite entertaining.

But then some contestants realise that rather than Outlasting the other teams you can just attack them.

Two female contestants raided another survivors camp and started stealing and destroying his things.

He asked them to leave, they refused.

They told him to quit or they would destroy his camp the second he leaves.

He complained this was against the rules but she pointed out there were no rules and no one disagreed with her.

The male contestant didn't want to be violent (especially to a woman) so could do nothing.

The women split up and destroyed his camp piggy-in-the-middle style.

This is just awful.

How the produces stood by and watch this unfold (assuming it is real) is just beyond me.

Is this really what they dreamed of creating?

We had to switch off around episode 5 as it was just nasty.

I am up for freedom of creative expression but this made me feel sick.

I worry for the people who enjoyed this.

Although there are lots of things I dislike on Netflix, nothing has ever made me consider cancelling my subscription as much as this..
