I have watched the entire season, to be honest, it was quite boring. I would expect people to fight for survival, but instead, they wait for two days without looking for water and food.
They spend endless time arguing about nonsensical things and always hope to return to normal life, without using their time to build something meaningful.
If you haven't started watching this, I would say there's no need to start watching it at all. You should invest 10 hours in something more meaningful.
It's an interesting topic about traveling to the future, but the script is poorly written, and the actors are not convincing.

Barely a science fiction except for the plot and a few rare strange things here and there.
Basic common sense things missing, actors are always fresh, wearing new clothes, survive just fine not feeling hungry for extended period of time. Some character development is the only thing that is not so bad. Strange unnatural emotions such as not being grateful for someone saving your life! Overall not very entertaining, if you have nothing else to do and you are extremely bored you can watch it in 1.5x speed. Don't let "japanese" mislead you, they can be bad too :) Highly doubt there will be a second season any time soon, if at all.

Wow why are some people so angry about this show!? Some hate reviews are really hostile, surely there's been worse shows than this so why!?
In any case, I liked it. I watched Lost years ago so I barely remember it, yes I can see the similarities but even though it was strange at first, somehow I prefer an upbeat random daijobu Japanese song playing whenever something bad happened rather than the usual doom music that sets us up for a heart attack or depression in most US shows. In general, there was no overall sense of doom and terror which personally I appreciated, but I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea. Maybe all the hate reviews are from die hard Lost fans? That I'd understand, but still, expect the concept to be repeated again as it has been in the past too.
This is the Japanese version, with all the usual tropes, we have the option to skip or fast forward the super slow melo scenes but we also get to see that side of the world. Which means no sex, drugs, nudity, swearing, etc and it's refreshing for some of us. Overall this was an exciting and entertaining family friendly show that also tries to make a point about being grateful for what we have.

I've watched the entire season and loved it.
It's a great show if you feel like watching something without swearing and nudity.
There are fantastic themes about life and we were on the edge of our seat for the next episode.
You grow to love the characters and some really great acting in some of the scenes.
It also had such touching moments which made me tear up.
It played out, I think, very realistically. It was interesting to see the ways each character dealt with such a situation as the show progresses...how most of us have things we deal with in life that others don't see.
Good and bad in all of us.
Finally, something other than garbage on NetFlix.
Not for people who can't appreciate a story without trashy scenes!

I really wanted to enjoy this because the plot is a good one but the slow burning repeated drama takes over the whole thing, it becomes exhausting and you will likely forward through the forced and dull unnecessary dialogue along with the character's long pauses.
The plot is easily split with 20% apocalyptic exciting storyline with a purpose, but is interrupted with 80% of depressing melodrama tears, flashbacks and unnecessary character-buildup attempts. It's like ordering a pepperoni pizza and receiving it with only one small piece of pepperoni on top. The rest is just covered with plain cheese.
Oh stop it already will you?
