The worst television series of all time? Probably not, but it can play big for this nice prize, what is certain is that it is one of the worst Netflix productions ever.
As you may have guessed I absolutely didn't like it, but apparently reading some web reviews I'm not alone, I watch it all until the end only to see how far they could go with this nonsense.
Watch out that there will be many spoilers in this article, but don't worry if, unlike me, you are sane, you will never watch it.
The beginning is not the best, too clear a reminder of the historic television series Lost, which could be an advantage but it becomes a great defect because the comparison is obvious and if you are not able to stand comparison you risk a lot, in fact it is just what happens.
Random scenes, here is a sentence that could summarize the entire series, I wonder... but they didn't watch it once was finished!? Didn't they notice the crazy bullshit that came out of it!? They were in a hurry to get it out... really!?
Of course there will be obscure reasons for me of timing and contracts that justify its existence for what presented itself, at least I hope.
One of the first meaningless scenes is when some sharks grab one of the unfortunates of the island in the water, oh yeah, I forgot that of course having mentioned Lost there is obviously an island, but that could already be guessed from series name, with a dozens of men and women who get there without knowing why and not remembering their past, but let's go back to the sharks, after a while this guy is found on the beach with three/four cuts on one leg and survives... In the water there will have been at least 3 liters of blood... also they are rarely drink water and eat, how he healed we don't know, but above all as it's possible that after being attacked from more sharks you come out with some cut on the leg only?
Absurd scenes of an alleged rape, they find a place with a huge building in the middle of the island that is reached by only two of them because the others do not seem too interested although they can arrive in half a day by walk, but the rest of the group prefers to stay on the beach starving to death and waiting for help.
When they go to any place on the island they inevitably pass close to waterfalls, always the same, we see that they didn't have many other alternatives regarding the scenarios, on a huge island as it seems to be that in fact there are not many alternatives.
The culmination of indecency comes soon enough, when already at the second episode you discover what for any other series could easily have been the season finale, that is, the fact that the new island inhabitants were trapped in a virtual world, classic experiment history that unites them: convicts taken from the death row who signed the liberations to be psychologically tortured.
So now you know that they are all crazy psychopathic killers, but nevertheless they are all kind and quiet at first, then as they remember their past their true personality comes out.
The prison director in which they are locked up wants to sabotage the experiment because the prisoners do not deserve a second chance and in his opinion they must die, so he has two pseudo-executioners who present themselves to the friendly occupants of the island with the names of Bonnie and Clyde and even the poor people who remember nothing can remember that these names are familiar.
The ending then succeeds in reaching its apotheosis, it turns out that they are all old but they see themselves young, it is not clear how much time they spent on the island, we do not know almost nothing, the main character is the only innocent, but if she was innocent...why she was among psychopaths including her husband who killed her mother! However, she has served her sentence and is free... great! Too bad the world is a sort of mix between futuristic and zombie city.
Practically an episode of Black Mirror badly made that lasts 7 episodes, which manage to be practically all useless, from the first to the last.
If you allow me I would like to give you three tips:
1 - Don't watch it
2 - Don't even watch it to lose your time
3 - Don't watch it never!
Thanks for reading, a big hug and see you soon!
