The I-Land (Page 1 of 2)

Yeah, we'll see, of course that's always a possibility, but as of now I doubt it. Looking forward to the remaining episodes.

Another Life was BAD, but The I-Land was yet another level of completely awful. It was tolerable episode 1-3, actually 1-2 was even kind of entertaining if you could overlook the annoyances, but in episode 4 something completely unforgivable happened, i think i have never seen such absolutely horrible writing EVER in a tv-show.

Haha, indeed! Not sure if I like that development, but at least that gives them the opportunity to play around with new ideas with lower budgets - so that's a good thing. If the audience loves a show (enough), another season is ordered.

I beg to differ. See what Lollie and I wrote at https://forum.next-episode.net/viewtopi … 29#p161729 (and feel free to reply there if you want to discuss that further).

Interesting! Because of your reply I watched ep 4 sooner than planned and... really enjoyed it!

I feel it's a bit like with Fight Club (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/ - Top Rated All-Time Movie #10): those who watched it just on the surface (as a movie about fighting) disliked it; but the more metaphors you discovered the more deeply you enjoyed it.

Or maybe I just imagined the metaphors, who knows? The I-Land is still an enjoyable show so far.

Hmm... that's almost a philosophical question, but I would say no, it wasn't revealed, just hinted at (but with the hinting finger mostly hidden behind the other person's back).

Also, the trailer expertly laid a tiny false trail adding to my plot twist suprise.

Btw, the trailer totally reminded me of the Fyre festival fiasco in the Bahamas (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9412098/), the trailers both share bits of the vacation/party feeling, another false trail (and even if The I-Land doesn't look like being filmed in the Bahamas, they added one of the famous Bahamas pigs (https://www.google.com/search?q=Bahamas%20pigs) at https://youtu.be/a1nhfV2YANk?t=19 - well done I say, well done)!

I'd really like to have dinner some day with the creative folks behind The I-Land.

The first and second episodes made me think of another version of Lost, however, it took a different twist in the third and as a result I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It could have a second series following the trials and tribulations of the new arrival on the I-Land but I think it could end after this first series at least there are no unresolved cliff hangers.

^that chick is always in lame shows!

She's like a signifier of the show being mainstream and silly.

Haven't finished the show yet, but so far it's the usual level of entertaining you get from a show like The Dome and The Crossing etc, with magical fighting skills and foolish, unrealistic reactions from people.

I also started out thinking it was a variation on LOST, until the third episode. Then I started thinking if LOST had used the premise behind The I-LAND it would have made the ending better.  In fact I really kept hoping we'd see the Dharma Initiative logo pop up somewhere on some old piece of technical equipment. That would have been a hilarious retcon right there.

canceled right ?

not suprised this was cancelled, just attempted to watch ep1, way too hard, had to give up.

Just finished the show. I liked the last ep less than the ones before - and the ending wasn't perfect in all regards - but I still recommend the show.

8/10

That's not a review... haters gonna hate!

And you can find flaws in virtually every show, no need to get so upset.
