Castaways

Most of the poor reviews on this show came after the very first episode where there was a lot of introductory dialogue to get through.First off I think the editing is immaculate and makes the show completely unique. The ability to show a castaway through their trials and tribulations on the islands whilst seamlessly interweaving their home life into the show is truly astounding. This show really focuses on the social aspect of being alone, and the warmth you feel watching these people find companionship in the most unlikely of places is what will bring me back to keep watching this show. Well done.

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.

Some of the reviews on here are very impatient. Sometimes it is nice to sit and absorb a story about people's lives. I think those that are looking for action would die of boredom if they were put in the same situation. Very impatient. Survival sometimes depends on patients, to wait, and wait, for the prey to trip the trap, or come close enough for you to shoot or kill.....to survive... People in our party and gaming society, have been spoiled to the point they would not survive if there would be a catastrophic event in their lives. Life is really precious and tenuous and can be lost at any moment. We as human beings are weakest of the kingdom of animals on this planet. The only ways we have survived is through the use of our enlarged brains and have used that to create levers, and bows, and carved rivers and build pyramids and castles....and have touched the face of the moon. Studying the human condition under stress makes us better...I hope. Those that don't want to watch don't have to...

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.

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!!
